Add views filter "contains partly"

Provided MR !151 which works perfectly in our application.

Hmmm it seems like using granularity should meet this use case, no? You should be able to add a filter that says start date <= NOW (granularity of day) and end date >= NOW (granularity of day), which sounds like it would meet what you need to do. Or maybe I need more coffee to understand what you're trying to do? :-P

@mandclu yes, the condition with two fields does work technically, but not when you're working with exposed filters. It would require the user to input the same day twice, once for the lower boundary and once again for the upper boundary.

With the combined filters that we've built and that should be extended by this one, there will only be one exposed field and the filter internally applies that twice for the lower and upper boundary.

Got it (and I do think my second cup of coffee helped). It seems like a simple enough change.

One quibble is with the terminology. How about we call this "Overlaps" instead of "Partly contains"?

Great suggestion, I wasn't particularly happy with the previous one eother ;-)

Merged into the 4.2.x branch.
