How to change a date format [CFv4 1.9 on Joomla 1.6]

Hi to everybody!

I have tried to change the date format inside the visible field for the user in the form and in the email that I receive after the form is sent.

However it seems not working.

These are the steps I have done on the form wizard:

- add the Custom Datepicker action into the OnLoad section
- I have opened the Custom Datepicker and I have set up the "Field Class" (as Calendario), the Date format shown and Date format posted (as d-m-Y).

The date into the form (after the selection with Date Picker) still continue to be d-m-Y (ex. 2011-06-25).

How can I solve this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi d-force,

Have you added the Calendario class to the Date-picker element as well?

Hi GreyHead,

I have done the setup as in the attached email. But nothing happen...maybe I need to do other setup?

Hi d-force,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.

Hi Filippo,

Two fixes needed:

You have to add the datepicker class - calendario - to the Field class box of the elements you want it to apply to.

The Custom datepicker action needs to be before the Show HTML action.

Thank you so much Bob! You are so kind!
Now it works perfectly! 😀

I only have another question concerning the date format.

It's possible to set the "Date format Posted" as follow?

Ex: Tuesday 5 July 2011 instead of 5-7-2011 ?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi filippo,

From the Custom DatePicker Help tab

All picker options and config are available here:

. See the Date-formatting section on that page.

Thank you Bob! I'll have a look there! 😀
