Support date popup for mysql_date field views filters

Created on 23 January 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

When exposing a mysql date field the filter is treated as a string. The date_popup module does not catch this field.
We wanted to provide a date popup for the filter using the html5 date type.

Steps to reproduce

Create a custom table with a mysql "date" type field.
Adopt the table using the view_custom_table module
Create a view using the new custom table as the base
Expose the date field as a filter.
Installation of the date_popup module will not change the filter into an html5 date field either.

Proposed resolution

Find a way to allow the mysql_date field to be filtered using a date popup.

I took some lead from the date_popup module to try and get them to work together and ended up bringing some of their code over in a patch

Remaining tasks

Evaluate the patch or a better method of getting the filter to be an html5 date field.

Attaching patch. I'm not really sure if this is the right way to attack this.

Maybe it's better to have the date_popup module add support for this?
