Definition of DATETIME Data for the Event Period of Courses/Groups

1 Initial Problem

Currently, the event period of a course/group ("Period of Event") can only be defined in [DATE] format while [DATETIME] data aren't supported.
Thus, users don't receive detailed information.
And, moreover, present and future features using this data cannot work with exact daytime.

2 Conceptual Summary

Provide an option to define [DATETIME] data for event period of courses/groups.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

crs/settings/crs_settings, grp/settings/grp_settings

3.2 User Interface Details

Use the same dateplaner for the event period that is used for the availability period.

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

(none)

4 Technical Information

Functionalities based on the up-to-date course/group period without [DATETIME] data, such as the notification on the minimum numer of members not fulfilled) also have to be enhanced, so they can handle [DATETIME] data.

Meyer, Stefan [smeyer]: 11. Feb 2019, I support this request.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 11 FEB 2019 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule it for 6.0 with the following modification:

• Course period has to support DATETIME and DATE to cover also existing entries (which are always full-day entries). Implementation should be similar to the session (checkbox 'full-day event' toggles date type).
• And we have to consider the rivality between sessions and the period of event for future decisions.
