Extend date ranges #39

Open eamena-github opened 7 years ago

Extend date ranges of information resources and impacts/disturbances to go back further than 1900

azerbini commented 7 years ago

This is a code limitation. At some point in the future, we will be able to bypass this with fuzzy dates, but not for a while still. Replacing datetime objects with dateutil ones will circumvent this eventually.

But you cannot put 'until' dates for information resources, which are a bit pointless without dates.

@eamena-github, not sure what you mean? Can you give me an example?

eamena-github commented 6 years ago

I never replied - apologies. Didn't realise there was a question. What I mean is that the file and acquisition dates for Inf Res are exact dates. It would possibly help to have the same drop down menu of 'on', 'before' and 'after' for the date. That way you can at least indicate that something is pre-1900. Currently, I've been adding dates to catalogue IDs (e.g. http://eamenadatabase.arch.ox.ac.uk/reports/89006843-7a1f-4149-9f05-de6707030239).

Ok, this is a separate issue and one that ties in with remodelling our Information Resource graphs. Thanks for raising this.
