Date Picker UK Format

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi

Been searching but I can't seem to locate the files that make up the Date Picker, on both ProNews & Extended Form when you use the date picker it shows up as the US format ie, m/d/y, could really do with it showing as d/m/y. Is the date picker part of the core or does each block have its own date picker and also how do I change this?

thanks in advance

Old topic, but I keep forgetting how to do this so... we add the following to the config/site.php file...

define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT_FULL', 'F d, Y \a\t g:i A');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT', 'j/n/Y \a\t g:i A');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY', 'j/n/Y');

If you use the very latest code in github, there are a couple bugs fixed with non-US dates and the calendar date picker we use. There are more details in this post:

Basically, you'll want to include another constant, and make sure you use d-m-Y instead of d/m/Y

Humm, just realised none of the solutions seems to work with the built in form function.

Solution is to (ignore my previous post and...) manually code the input as so...

<input name="date" type="text" class="datepicker" value="<?php echo Date('d-m-Y') ?>"/>


and then manually set the format using jQuery...

<script>
$('.datepicker').datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'})
</script>

As I mentioned inhttp://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=113666...

In concrete 5.7.5.2 the datepicker() format used in custom forms appears to (sadly) be hard-coded in /concrete/src/Form/Service/Widget/DateTime.php.

The only way I found to change it was to inject the following Javascript into the bottom of my theme template:

$('.ccm-input-date.hasDatepicker').datepicker('option', 'dateFormat' ,'d M yy');
