Karim Rahimpur commented on OFBIZ-3125:
---------------------------------------
Sure that would be an option as well. I think it would have been quite a lot
more work though, let me explain roughly what we had to do to implement the
DurationField:
- ModelFormField.java : add the DurationField class, basically a modified
TextField
- *Renderer.java : implement renderDurationField(...)
- change the *Forms.xml where we want durations to appear, e.g.
ProductionRunForms.xml
The other thing is that if you decide to use something like a TimeDuration
there would have to be changes in the data model where that type should be
used, and changes would also require functions to update etc.
> Add a duration field type to improve input and representation of durations:
> DurationField, allows to show and input *d *h *m *s *ms

> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Karim Rahimpur

> Is there interest in having a field that can parse and display durations
> expressed like these?
> - 10d 5h 6m
> - 6m 45s
> - 1s 145ms
> If so, then I can provide that. We're using this to handle durations as
> humans are used to, instead of having to see and express them in
> milliseconds. E.g. durations used in production runs: an operator knows it
> took so many hours to complete a task but it's uncomfortable to have to
> convert that to milliseconds when you want to store that data.
> So if there is enough interest I could provide a patch that adds a
> DurationField which can be used in forms like shown in these examples:
> - A field that displays a duration in the *d *h *m *s *ms format - this is a
> substitute for <display/> in milliseconds:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="estimatedSetupMillis"
> title="${uiLabelMap.ManufacturingTaskEstimatedSetupMillis}">
> <duration disabled="true"/>
> </field>
> {code}
> - A field that allows to input a duration in the *d *h *m *s *ms format -
> this is a substitute for <text/> input in milliseconds:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="actualSetupMillis"
> title="${uiLabelMap.ManufacturingTaskActualSetupMillis}">
> <duration/>
> </field>
> {code}
> Comments are welcome.
