[TYPO3-mvc] Fluid form with DateTIme as user input

[Patrick Schriner]

<label for="validUntil"><f:translate  
key="tx_bla_domain_model_blub.valid_until" /> (Format: TT.MM.JJJJ)</label>
	<f:form.textfield property="validUntil"   
value="{blub.validUntil->f:format.date(format:'d.m.Y')}" class="tcal" />

should  work if changed to accept date time. I can only recommend adding a  
simple date picker like Tigra Calendar.

You should not need any magic in the model, you don't need to set it  
explicitly - there is a special part in the property mapper that handles  
datetime fields.

If that fails you,

looks promising.
