DateTime/datepicker format problems
16 March 2012 at 11:24pm
Hi all,
This is driving me mad! I've searched the forums, the api, the internet for any clues that might help me with this problem and I haven't found anything that works. I'm trying to extend the Page class and add two fields - a start date and end date = for an events page on my site.
The fields appear fine, but whenever I choose a date with the datepicker, it fills the new field out in the wrong format - it uses MM/dd/YYYY when it should be returning dd/MM/YYYY.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
I'm using the 3.0.0 beta, which I appreciate isn't a finished product, as I'm hoping to learn SilverStripe before v3 is officially released.
Thanks,
Loz
class EventPage extends Page {
static $db = array (
'EventStartDate' => 'Date',
'EventFinishDate' => 'Date'
);
static $has_one = array (
);
function getCMSFields()
{
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $startDateField = new DateField('EventStartDate','Event Start Date'), 'Content');
$startDateField->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$startDateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd/MM/YYYY');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $endDateField = new DateField('EventFinishDate','Event Finish Date'), 'Content');
$endDateField->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$endDateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd/MM/YYYY');
return $fields;
}}

Hi,
if it helps this is how I do it...
$df->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$df->setLocale('en_GB');
$df->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd/MM/YYYY'); -

Hi swaiba,
I tried using setLocale() like you suggested but it made no difference.
Thanks for the quick reply,
Loz

is you site setup with the right locale also? (you would have had defaulted to en_US on the ss install)
I *know* that code works on my systems...

I'm sure I set the site up with UK locale, the following line is in mysite/_config.php:
i18n::set_locale('en_GB');
Unless I missed something and you can set it somewhere else?
Thanks

actually i think i see it...
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $startDateField = new DateField('EventStartDate','Event Start Date'), 'Content');
$startDateField->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$startDateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd/MM/YYYY');try this instead...
$startDateField = new DateField('EventStartDate','Event Start Date')
$startDateField->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$startDateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd/MM/YYYY');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $startDateField, 'Content'); -

No joy
Just to confirm; the field will accept the date if I input it manually in the correct format. It's just that the datepicker fills the form with the wrong format when choosing a date.
I wondered if it might have something to do with the DateField_View_JQuery class as detailed here: http://api.silverstripe.org/trunk/sapphire/forms/DateField_View_JQuery.html?
Cheers,
Loz
