Replace the default date picker with a modern, lightweight alternative.
Compatible with Magento 1.x
CalendarView
The default date fields for product custom options use a very bad choice of javascript popup. It is over eight years old, has numerous unfixed bugs, is no longer maintained by it's author and is just plain ugly.
This extension replaces that redundent popup with a newer alternative from CalendarView.org which is not only actively maintained but is also easier to use, easier to skin, more reliable and much, much prettier. It is built on the Prototype JS library like the rest of Magento which saves a HTTP request and over 30KB, helping your pages to be smaller and faster for the customer. No extra library is needed, not even jQuery!
Usage
The only configuration needed is in System > Configuration > Catalog > Date & Time Custom Options > Use Javascript Calendar, the same as with the old calendar. The language used is based on the settings in System > Configuration > General > Locale Options.
This extension does not introduce any new options, it just works.
Theming
Skinning is much improved. Just copy /skin/frontend/base/default/css/calendarview.css to your theme and edit.
