I am building a VSCode extension that allows users to generate pages (sample landing pages, documentation, etc) among other things (bug tracking, saving code snippets, tools, etc) and one of the properties is a date. How do I take user input and make sure it is a date, and if not convert to date format? window.showInputBox() is how I usually get info, but I need a date picker, if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions :)
I am using the latest version of WP with the Colormag theme. I have 12 different banner images - a specific one that is themed for each month of the year and want to automatically display the correct one depending on the current month.
The Colormag theme lets me upload multiple banner images and allows me to manually select the one I want to use but I can't see any way to automate this selection programmatically.
I have looked through multiple plugins but the only seem to allow different headers on different pages etc., nobody seems to have released one that allows any form of basic selection criteria to be used to determine which image to show.
I assume it can be done with php (maybe css?) but I'm only an amateur, doing unpaid volunteer work for this organisation (an purely funded by donations animal shelter). I have a grasp of the basics - I have done some simplistic css customisation on the site and am using various plugins but but no more :(.
I was working on a project dealing with the Last-Modified time of photos from various websites. One of the websites drew my attention with the fact that all of its product photos being requested had the same Last-Modified header as Wed, 20 Jan 1988 04:20:42 GMT in the response headers. (See photo below)
The timestamp looks really strange to me because year 1988 is a year when internet and png/jpeg photo format (product photos of the website) did not even exist yet. I need to evaluate the validity of the timestamp for the project but I really want to understand more before simply saying it's a fake time. There're some thoughts in my mind that could not be wrapped in one question so I'm just listing them out as follows:
From a high level, where does the last-modified timestamp come from, is it from the last-modified field from the file system?
The company started in 1986 based on their company profile, so it's still possible to have some digital photos in storage at year 1988. Would it be technically possible that the original photos were created in 1988, stored and served later when internet becomes available?
In response headers, the Date property is actually reflecting correctly the current date when I requested the resource. Does that justify the validity of the time or it's also possible that the server time got changed back and forth somewhere in the middle?
Its product photos are png or jpeg and with resolutions up to the standard of today, how did they manage to do that without altering the last-modified metadata if we assume the timestamp is still valid? Note: they seem to all have the same timestamp precisely.
As mentioned, I'm still trying to understand more under the hood, so if you have any thoughts on how I could continue digging into this, that'll be helpful as well. Thanks in advance.
There are no obvious answers to these questions. You’ll have to ask the people who built the site.
Photo metadata is 100% under the control of the developers / operators of the site. If you wanted to use file system timestamps, you could. If you wanted to substitute a timestamp from another source, or a made-up time stamp, you could.
You might be able to find a clue by downloading photos and examining the EXIF metadata that’s embedded in the image data. That’s another potential source of the timestamp data. But of course that could also be doctored.
I have an application in Vuejs (Typescript) that get date from User, I am facing two issues for the time being.
Every time the User enter date of birth system decreases one.
If user enter 03/05/1981 and the System date formate is MM/dd/yyyy it store 5th of March.
I can't tell every person to change format to dd/MM/yyyy, or is there a way around.
Thanks
By the details you have provided I assume everything happens in the browser.
Please check your browser localization settings even if your computer localization is setup as US if the browser has a different setting then it will be overwritten.
If you are sending the information to a different server please check how are you formatting the date in your request and which are the server side settings about localization.
Hope this helps.
I am currently creating an app, in which the user is able to book devices (which are provided by a json file) for a certain time period (start date - end date). I was planning to use a online calendar, such as http://30boxes.com/welcome.php to check if the requested device is currently in use by another user at this period of time.
What might be the best strategy to parse that online calendar?
just noticed this website has an API, which makes it super-easy to set and get the calendar data. I feel stupid right now: http://30boxes.com/api/
I'm currently developing a back-end for chefs at various restaurants to report their daily menues in a structured format. Of pragmatic reasons have I chosen to use a web CMS and use many of the features already include including a flexible rights-management module
I want to utilise the existing functions in Joomla for access control, editing and navigation, but I need to replace the textfield with five field (each representing one day of the working week) and save this in a structured way into the database. I was planning to create a editor plugin which displays the field for the chef-users and parse the in-data into a structured data-format e.g. XML. For each week I will need to create empty templates for all the restaurants displaying the week number and dates.
I was also hoping for third-party developers to access this data through RESTful methods in the URL where the structure could be something like: http://domain.no/restaurant-name/menu for a text-menu http://domain.no/restaurant-name/json for json etc.
I guess my question is how I can start developing such features. Has there been developed anything similar and are there modules developed for Joomla which I can utilise? Does my approach sounds sensible or are there any other good way of solving my problem?
For a custom content management i would use Zoo component from Yootheme (not free!). You can define your fields,
But for developers access, i have no idea, sorry!
