[Solved] date format and custom fields

Hi!

I'm using some custom fields as date.
I want to use this format : %d-%m-%Y

i correctly add this format to custom field, for example : <field name="field_j2" type="calendar" class="input-small hasTooltip" format="%d-%m-%Y" label="Deuxième jour" size="50" description=""></field>

I also configure the date format correcty in configuration : d-m-Y.

In frontend, all is ok, all dates (custom or not) appear like that : d-m-Y

However, in backend, the display is different between "core" date (beginning, end...) end custom fields, as you can see here:

I know this is just a visual pr in backend, however people who use it can be afraid of that, and use the copy/paste function...

Is there a solution (i tried to modify the administrator/components/com_eventbooking/view/event/tmpl/default.php file, changing :

%Y-%m-%d with '%d-%m-%Y
and $format = 'Y-m-d'; with $format = 'd-m-Y';

But after saving event, the date goes wrong (01-01-0001)

Can you advice me something?

Thank you!

Hi!

Did someone have seen this post?

Thank you for your help

Hi!

Should i explain better my problem?

Hi Baptiste

I still don't really understand the problem here. Not sure what is the custom fields you are talking about ? The event custom fields or registration form custom fields?

Hi Tuan,

I try to explain better :

In backend, the core date field (Start Date, End date) of event are displayed like that : Y/m/d
In frontend, they are correctly displayed, as mentionned in configuration : d/m/Y

However, i created custom fields (fields.xml) for days 2, 3, 4... : here is my code :

They are displayed like that in backend, event: d/m/Y
And also in frontend : d/m/Y

My problem is that in backend, i have then 2 kind of displays, depending if it is core field or custom field (Y/m/d and d/m/Y). As you can see in capture of my first post)

That is a bit tricky for users of the backend (they are disturbed, and can't use copy/past function then).

As explained before, i tried to change the date format in administrator/components/com_eventbooking/view/event/tmpl/default.php, but none of my changes work...

Hi Baptiste

Unfortunately, at this time, Events Booking is not ready for custom format for event date fields such as Event Date, Event End Date, Registration Start Date...

For date inputs for each event. we will have to use the format Y-m-d for now. I will try to improve it, but it will take more time to implement and make it ready for using

Hi Tuan and thank you for your answer,

Well, i found a kinf of solution for my specific need :

i use Ymd format in fields.xml, and in backend : And i modified event_properties.php in frontend :

i replaced with
Not very nice (i'm not programmer!) but that works : Same format in backend (Ymd) and same format in frontend (dmY)

I have one last topic without answer, here it is , can you answer it? that's the last need for my need, i think!

Thank you and have a nice day!
