List of dates generated in a page

[sergio.rufini]

I am really sorry if I may insist on this subject, but I cannot find anything that helps me in the forum I find hard to believe this is only my problem.

I need to generate list of dates in a page.
For example: in my timesheets of a month, I need to visualize a repeating group of days of the months.
I would imagine there is an elegant solution where I can generate a list of item (like the plugin toolbox), that create a list of dates, maybe starting with a range. But I cannot figure out how.

I wonder where the data for date pick up and calendar are taken. Is there an algorithm?

Until now, the solution is to create a workflow that as a monkey creates one day after one other in a data type of days/date, but in if I create a new deployment of my app, I need to re-generate this each time.

I would like to understand how you guys handle the problem, or if there is the possibility to request a plugin like list of numbers to handle date…

Mc fly? Anyone?

Yeah man I’ve got basically the same need.
I need a list of dates and the only way I can think of to get them is to manually build a giant table in the database with each day’s date in each row. That seems like a stupid and brittle way to deal with lists of dates.
