Improve Dynamic Category filter for 'Release Date' field #1138

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The 'Time' component is not really needed for Date of Release, I suggest this 
be removed. scrapers do not need to change, we just need to handle the 
presentation to the user so it strips that junk away.

Places identified where 'Time' is displayed:
* Configuration Movie Details
* Dynamic Filters.

It's already handled okay for facade label2 and group headers.

removing the 'time' from the config dialog movie manager might be a bit tricky 
as it looks like a generic implementation...would probably need some attribute 
to control whether or not do display the time part as there other fields which 
use time such as date added.

Regarding the Filters, I was thinking for dynamic categories which uses field 
release date then we can break the nodes up like so:
* Decades
** Years
**** Month

e.g.

2000s
** 2000
*** January
**** Die Hard I
**** The Rock
*** February
...
*** December
** 2001
** 2002
..
** 2009
