DESCRIPTION: 

When this enhancement is installed, a new field type will become available. The content  
of that field is hour and minutes of the time of the day. The use and operation of this 
new field type is similar to that of field type date.

INSTALLATION:

1. Drop folder "time" from a folder matching your Moodle version into folder
   moodle/mod/data/field/

2. Add new strings to your active langugae packs. Strings for a few languages 
   are provided in the distribution in file strings.txt.

NOTE for Moodle 1.9: 

Time fields can't be used in the search template. Searching for a specific time of 
the day is basically pointless -- one can simply sort by this field.  Searching
will make sense once the API of the data module is enhanced to support range searches.
