Custom fieldtype for Craft to display a DateTime field as separate dropdowns

Functionality

• Extends the default DateTime fieldtype, but without a datepicker.
• Allows the user to enter a date using three separate <select> fields for day/month/year.
• You can set your own range for the Year field, using full numeric year notation (eg. 2016) or a strtotime() value based on the current date/time.
