Make time optional for Events

[haheute]

Is the feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have just created a new event in Friendica, for which I know start day and end day, but no time for those.
So I have set it to 12:00 am and clarified in the info text, that I don't know the time.

Describe the feature you'd like

Maybe a checkbox "enter only date, dismiss time" or similar.. if possible.

Describe alternatives you've considered

none

The usual way of handling this is a checkbox reading "All day". We definitely don't have the underlying support for those though.

The database fields seem to be datetime. .. Not sure how a fix could possibly work.. it seems to need some "time" part to be inserted. I just wrote the issue so that the use case / problem is known..

friendica/database.sql

Line 696 in 765af10

`start` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0001-01-01 00:00:00' COMMENT 'event start time',

Here's how it would work: When the "All Day" checkbox is ticked, only the day part of the start and end fields would be considered, and the all day events would be displayed without time.

We definitely should add a "all day" possibility. We "only" have to see how to transport this via ActivityPub.
