Hello,
In the field calendar I choose to see value as d-m-y that means for 1st july 2017 to have following output: 01-07-2017
But calendar shows me 1-7-2017

Basically I need always 2 characters for day, 2 for month and 4 for year.

It should be as per php that for setting d-m-y the date value is 01-07-2017, but in chronoform 6 is not working.
Thanks

Hi vismay,

I took a peek at the code and don't see an obvious way to do this in the datepicker settings. You can re-format the date after the form submits. Would that do what you need?

I have a strictly formatted module to fill and the date should be always 10 characters.

I think it's a bug, because the information of d and m is with leading zero.

Hi Vismay,

As I said, you could re-format the date after the form submits - would that do what you need?

Bob

Not really, because the value is written in database before the form submit... so I need to do it when I call the write to database event?

Hi Vismay,

How are you doing the database save? Yes, you would need to change the format before the save.

An alternative - not ideal - would be to use a different datepicker that gives you more control over the format; or possibly to use JavaScript to reformat the date when it is selected.

Hi vismay,

You can send me a message using the contact us page and I will send you a patch file for this.

Best regards,
