Changing date format of custom field

Hi,

I have added a custom field of type "date" and applied it to all categories. However, this "date" field shows a calandar date picker (great), but then inputs the date in this format:
2015-01-22

That is yyyy-mm-dd I believe.

Either way, that's not usually how we read dates and I would really like this to be:
dd-mm-yyyy
22-01-2015

I can change the date format in the configuration but this seems to only apply for events, rather than custom fields.
Is there an easy way to change this?

I am using version: 1.6.6

Thanks,

Hi Steve

Unfortunately, for DateTime custom field, we will have to use the fixed format YYYY-MM-DD. It is not possible to use custom format yet due to some limitation of Joomla core Calendar custom field at the moment

I will try to address this issue in the future

Hi Tuan,

I have this same issue. The format is not common in our country and visiters of the site have problems with it. I Googled a bit and found this: docs.joomla.org/Calendar_form_field_type to change to format of the core-calendar.

It it possible to hard-code it somewhere in your component?

We love Event Booking, keep up the good work!

Hi

You can try to look at administrator/components/com_eventbooking\libraries\rad\form\field\date.php and try to change it to see how it works

Tuan

Any news of how to change this?

Hi

We support several custom format now. You can go to Events Booking -> Configuration, find the config option Date Custom Field Format and choose the best format for your need

Regards,

Tuan
