automated formatting of time entry

[piflixe]

Feature Request: Automated time formatting in the add entry dialouge

Expected behaviour

if one types "11" is evaluated to 11:00:00 if on types "1145" it is evaluated to 11:45:00 of one types "114532" it is evaluated to 11:45:32 Thereby, the time entries can be entered without the ":" sign which is difficult to enter since it is not included in the num-field and also difficult to enter on mobile devices.

Actual behaviour

if one types in 11 or 1145 the time format is not valid and results in an error message

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

open manual time entry dialog and enter numbers in time fields as described above

Here is a code snippet that I found "somewhere" and can be used as a base (code can be optimized)

$('.dateinput').blur(function() {
    //check if no letteres are entered in the field
    if (!$(this).val().match(/^[a-z|A-Z|ö|ä|ü|Ö|Ä|Ü|ß]+$/)){
        //add :00 if only 2 numbers entered
        if ($(this).val().length == 2){
            $(this).val($(this).val() + ':00');
            //check if field value is unlike xx:xx
        } else if ($(this).val().match(/^\d{3}|\d{4}$/)){
            //format field xx:xx
            $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/(\d\d)$/, ':$1'));
            if ($(this).val().length < 5){

                //split string and add 0 to fill up gaps in time 1:23 -> 01:23
                var timeSplit = $(this).val().split(":");
                if (timeSplit[0].length < 2){
                    timeSplit[0] = '0' + timeSplit[0];
                }
                if (timeSplit[1].length < 2){
                    timeSplit[1] = timeSplit[1] + '0';
                }
                $(this).val(timeSplit[0] + ':' + timeSplit[1]);
            }
        }

        //Check if hours are > 24 or minutes > 59 and empty field if true
        var timeSplit = $(this).val().split(":");
        if (timeSplit[0] > 24){
            $(this).val('');
        }
        if (timeSplit[1] > 59){
            $(this).val('');
        }
    } else {
        $(this).val('');
    }
});

I figured that typing 11 already works in the current master branch v1.1.0.1389 but when typing 1130 it will round to 12:00. This reduces this ticket to the possibility of omitting the ":". note: I would suggest typing 0120 for 1:20 thereby having a one-to-one relation ship. So the user will be required to alway enter 4 digits when ommiting the ":"
