# Date Popup Authored
[](https://travis-ci.org/itafroma/drupal-date_popup_authored)
## Introduction
Date Popup Authored provides a jQuery UI datepicker for the "Authored on" date field found on node submission forms.
For a full description of the module, visit the [project page][1] on Drupal.org.

## Requirements
- Drupal 7
- [Date][3] 2.0 or later
- Date Popup, part of the Date module

## Installation and configuration
Install as usual. See the [handbook page on installing contributed modules][4] for further information.
You can change the behavior of the date-picker by going to the settings page for each content type.
[4]: https://drupal.org/node/895232 "Installing modules (Drupal 7)"
## Caveats
Since Date Popup Authored allows you to choose a date format that's less specific than the default date format Drupal uses for the Authored on field, it will insert default data if you use a more simplified date format.
For example, if the date format you've configured doesn't include a time, when the node is saved, the Authored on time will be set to 12:00AM. Similarly, if you don't include the ability to choose a month, the Authored on month will be set to January (i.e. month 1).
So, if you care about the time a post is authored, make sure you allow the user to set it in the date format. See installation for more information.
## Future development
The functionality this module provides is being considered for core inclusion:
- [#1835016: Polyfill date input type][5]
- [#471942-30: Use Date Popup on 'Authored on' field][6]
- [#504524: Extend Authored on field with jQuery UI Date Picker][7]
Because of this, there will hopefully be no Drupal 8 version.

## Acknowledgments
Date Popup Authored was inspired by the hacks provided by [brice][10] and [Rob Loach][11] in the Date module issue, "[Use Date Popup on 'Authored on' field][12]." It contains additional fixes to account for problems found in their solution, new configuration options, Drupal 7 support, and a full test suite.
