Hi,

I'm having a date in a gridfield's setdisplayfields. However it's displaying the date in the Y-m-d format. I'd like to format it to d-m-Y.
Can anybody help me out?
This is the piece of code i'm talking about.

$config->getComponentByType('GridFieldDataColumns')->setDisplayFields(array(
'StartDatum' => 'StartDatum',
));

Hey Guy,

You can actually set the date format using SilverStripe's date helpers and the $summary_fields static in the Model/DataObject.
See http://beta.docs.silverstripe.org/en/developer_guides/model/scaffolding/#summary-fields

For example:

private static $db = array(
    "StartDatum" => "Date"
);

private static $summary_fields = array(
    "StartDatum.Nice" => "Start date"
);

StartDatum.Nice will return the dd/mm/yy format and the "Start date" is the label that will be used in the GridField to name the column.

Worked like a charm!
thanks Cam
