+ * Generate time inputs.

+ * ### Options:
+ *
+ * - `interval` The interval for the minutes select. Defaults to 1
+ * - `empty` - If true, the empty select option is shown. If a string,
+ *   that string is displayed as the empty element.
+ * - `round` - Set to `up` or `down` if you want to force rounding in either direction. Defaults to null.
+ * - `value` | `default` The default value to be used by the input. A value in `$this->data`
+ *   matching the field name will override this value. If no default is provided `time()` will be used.
+ * - `timeFormat` The time format to use, either 12 or 24.
+ * - `second` Set to true to enable seconds drop down.
+ *
+ * To control the order of inputs, and any elements/content between the inputs you
+ * can override the `dateWidget` template. By default the `dateWidget` template is:

+ *
+ * @param string $fieldName Prefix name for the SELECT element
+ * @param array $options Array of Options
