I'm not sure if fb:editor-date with input = Unix timestamp is offsetting that value by the user timezone setting? I would prefer to retain control of timezone displays and not have fb shifting the time around. Please consider something like a) specify the timezone interpretation you are giving to fb:editor-date for display, and b) provide an option to specify the timezone of display.

You could also punt by allowing the input spec to be date_month and date_day (as output).

Thank you.

To display current date, use php: <? $today = time(void); ?> then set value="<? echo"$today"; ?>"

More commonly, one is taking a date from a database, usually in GMT, and wish to display either a) in a specified timezone, or b) in the $user's timezone. So please: what is the timezone interpretation/offset applied to fb:editor-date? (right answer: it is always GMT)? The example above, value=time(), is about as useless as it gets. It is the timezone of the server. How lame is that? Where is your server, in GreatBritian, in LA, in ?

It would be great if this would POST the UNIX timestamp in addition to date_month and date_day values - it's much easier to use and contains more info

[edit] popup date selector

I see the Facebook Events application supports a 1-month-view popup date selector. Can we please have that function as fbml? The editor-date is fairly lame. Thank you.

[edit] lame

this is seriously lame as a date editor, where is the year??

Can we not have a much more flexible and pretty interface for picking dates, like a popup calender...

[edit] In serious need of a decent Date Picker

We seriously want to provide users with a decent date picker. Current fb:editor-date is no match for fancy date pickers available else where! The only option now is to incorporate fb:iframe in our app specifically for this, and only then incorporate any javascript calendar!

Please provide us with a decent date/time picker! It will make life a lot easier and beautiful!

[edit] Restriction

I want to use the fb:editor-date tag in table but there is a restriction on the tags that a table can contain.
