Changing the date field to US format
29 November 2007 at 10:47am
I'm having the hardest time changing the format of the date that is returned when you select it from the calendar in the form date field. I've changed everything I could see in Date.php & DateField.php. My global date format hasn't changed either. I have flushed the DB & admin & site multiple times.
Is it possible to change the format for this? It seems like a relatively simple thing to do.

looks like you're on the right track with subclassing stuff (at least until we've got proper field-localization going). DateField.php and Date.php should be the only relevant classes here - can you step through the saving/loading process and see at which point the date-format changes?

I guess I can change one thing at a time and see if anything happens. I thought I had already changed everything that made sense and it didn't seem to affect anything. But I'll try it again with a different approach.

I'm still getting nowhere. I can see where i can change the format for the Nice function. I just can't figure out how to get the Nice function working when it returns the date chosen from the calendar into the text box. I can't seem to figure out where all this happens. I'm assuming I'd find a return $Date somewhere that I could Nice Method to and that would be it.
Is that the right way to do this & if so what file is this in?

ah, so we're talking about a CalendarDateField? thats a bit more tricky, you probably need to look at the javascript-logic as well

OK. I'd like to know if anyone has been successful at changing the date format in the stable release of 2.2.0. I was messing with it on 2.2.0-rc2 and it changes just fine. It has been a couple of days since I made the changes and noticed that it was working.
So either there is a bug with the stable version that wasn't in rc2 or it takes several hours to a couple of days to take effect.
Has anyone successfully changed the date format to US?

I've successfully changed the CalendarDateField to the American Date Format.
I changed this file: jsparty\calendar\calendar-setup.js
In line 5, change "ifFormat : %d/%m/%Y" to "ifFormat : %m/%d/%Y"
It doesn't appear to work at first, but flush the cache and it will show up after you select a date from the pop-up calendar.
Hope this helps!
