    Date Range Datatype

    I'm storing events to be displayed on a calendar with mandatory start and finish dates.

    When the end-user enters the event's data in the Content area is there any way that I can validate that the value they've entered into the Start Date is <= Finish Date ?

    I've seen that I can create a custom datatype that would handle both the start & finish dates but this isn't ideal.

    Help appreciated.

    Hi. You can also add business logic by handling BeforeSave or BeforePublish events and preventing saving or publishing a document that doesn't comply to the rules. Although, personally I'm not aware of any way to show any UI text message to the user about failed validation.

    Thanks,

    I hadn't thought about the Before Save/Publish event handlers but if the user can't be presented with a meaningful message then it's somewhat futile.
