[TYPO3-dev] Putting the time into starttime

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi Benni,

as we talked already about, some remarks.

If using date2cal-ext there is the option to enter date and time for both.
The possibility is there as the fields are timestamps, and a little change 
in TCA would enable this for normal input.

As the fields are processed as timestamps there is no change need for.
So in my eyes i would vote for the "little" change.

There is one general thing i'm not sure about - when using start/stop the 
cache has to be cleared at this point, so new page/record is shown 
immediatly. is there any mechanism for that already in core?
