Hey,

I have some problems with displaying the date picked out in DataPickerField. Can som1 point me to API or sth?
I have been able to switch the backend display form with adding DatePickerField::set_date_format('dd-mm-yyyy'); to _config.php but using $Datum (croatian for $Date - name of the variable) in template ALWAYS returns date in yyyy-mm-dd format.
I need it to be dd-mm-yyyy or even better dd.mm.yyyy. How to accomplish this?

Thank you!

There are many functions available for date formatting. See sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Date.php

$Datum.Nice
$Datum.Format(d-m-Y) etc..

Yeah, I have tried that be4 posting and it didn't work for some reason...
Either I didn't do ?flush=1 or I had a typo....
I tried it now again and it works... seems so silly now...
Thank you anyways!

I have one more silly question... How do I put todays date into a calendar and check if date from datepicker is equal or greater than today?
st like return $this->Datum>=$today; ?

EDIT:
figured it out myself.
don't know if it is the best solution, but it did it as follows:

in template I check the function <% if isOver %> , and in .php the function looks like:

public function isOver(){
$Date = SS_Datetime::now();
return ($this->Datum<$Date->value);
}

Just in case som1 else is wondering the same thing

$Datum.InFuture
