Can I use just the year with Nice Date?

Macrike 10 Nov 2011 16:20 question, complete

I have three dropdown fields on my Publish Form (one for Day, another for Month and another for Year) and I’m using Nice Date to display the date in the format I need. But I’ve noticed that I must include a day and month, I cannot used just month-year or just the year.

Maybe I’m not using the correct method to achieve my goal. I’m trying to display launch dates for video games. When we know the exact date, everything is fine, but there are many times when we don’t know nothing but the month and year, or all we know is that the game will be released in Q3 2012, for example.

    Yes, you must enter a month + day in the date field so the plugin knows what date to output, but you can output any date format you want. Even just the year if you need to.

    Hmm...

    But if I choose to output just the year, then I can’t output the full launch date for games we do when they’re released. :-/

    Thanks. I guess I’ll have to keep searching for other methods.
