New Date and Datetime fields
joomla/joomla-cms#37456
This page needs new entries:
https://manual.joomla.org/docs/general-concepts/forms-fields/standard-fields/
And there need to be new articles for the new fields.
I have done that - waiting for merge.
No user documentation required!
Modification fields header tag, module tag add custom options in XML
joomla/joomla-cms#35184
These two items in the Joomla! Programmers Documentation need modification:
https://manual.joomla.org/docs/general-concepts/forms-fields/standard-fields/headertag/
https://manual.joomla.org/docs/general-concepts/forms-fields/standard-fields/moduletag/
PR submitted to update these two items - waiting for merge
Developer Documentation ToDo:
Field simple color as web component
joomla/joomla-cms#45004
Even though I tested this I have no idea what it does or how to use it. The new field is not in the Atum template. I think this needs Developer docs from dgrammatiko
Media: allow thumbnail for any file type
joomla/joomla-cms#44847
This seems to have been described for an FTP example plugin:
https://manual.joomla.org/docs/building-extensions/plugins/plugin-examples/filesystem-plugin-ftp/
If you try to do it for Media all the folders show as raindrops - it just looks mad! Refer to author!
