Change language of datepicker in chronoformsV5

Hi Joachim,

Please see this FAQ

Bob

OK thanks a lot! Now it works fine.

Hi Greyhead
data-shortmonths=[".... works fine for me.
data-shortdays=["... does not show any effect in my form.
Is there anything wrong with thise code?

data-start_date=<?php echo date("Y-m-d"); ?>
data-shortdays=["Di", "Lu", "Ma", "Me", "Je", "Ve", "Sa"]
data-shortmonths=["Jan", "Fev", "Mar", "Avr", "Mai", "Juin", "Juil", "Aout", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dez"]

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Saber,

Please try this instead:

data-shortdays=["Di", "Lu", "Ma", "Me", "Je", "Ve", "Sa"]
data-shortmonths=["Jan", "Fev", "Mar", "Avr", "Mai", "Juin", "Juil", "Aout", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dez"]
data-start_date=<?php echo date("Y-m-d"); ?>

Hi Joachim,

There is one more change I had to work out to get this to work. The format you use for the minDate 'date' has to match the date Format set for the datepicker.

The default date format is d-m-Y so, in that case the code would be

data-shortdays=["Di", "Lu", "Ma", "Me", "Je", "Ve", "Sa"]
data-shortmonths=["Jan", "Fev", "Mar", "Avr", "Mai", "Juin", "Juil", "Aout", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dez"]
data-start_date=<?php echo date("d-m-Y"); ?>

Thank you very much Max and GreyHead - like this it works perfectly! 😀

Hi there,
well it should be integrated into the faq manual that IF you want to change the language in the day's and month's fields, you MUST enter a startdate (in the consistent way of spelling the date as defined earlier in 'Basic' tab).

Additionally, it would be nice to have the help text in the form itself, where the days/months are shown in single quote marks, while here you show double quote marks – which seems to be the only way working – could be corrected.

And last but not least, it would be nicer to have the text which definetely has to be filled in could be separated from the text parts, which shouldn't. When reading the faq, it looks to me as if I had to fill in the entire string, eg.
'data-shortdays=["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]'
into the field "Days". That gives funny results in the calendar view.

Cheers,
Herbert

Hi Herbert,

I've added a note the FAQ about using the boxes on the Advanced tab - they have been added since the FAQ was written.

Hi GreyHead,
I tried the FAQ and also the hints in this threat but I only can change the language of the month. The days (shortdays) don't change.
I`m running chronoforms5 (5.0.5, 07.February.2015) and tried to change the days in the advanced tab (["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]) and also in the 'extra params box' (data-shortdays=["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]). Also adding a startdate change anything.
After all I 'hacked' the days in the file 'gdatetimepicker.js'.

Changing the first day of the week from sunday to monday also didn't work fine. I supposed, that I only have to change the "data-shortdays_indexes=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]" to "data-shortdays_indexes=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0]" but that also didn't take any efect.

Maybe I forgot something or didn't read carefully enough? Any sugestions?

Thx,
Frank

Hi Frank,

This is a bug, please wait for the new update scheduled for later today!

Max

:D Thx, now it works fine! 😀

Hi together,
sorry for complaining but there is still a little bug in the new Version (5.0.6, 15.February.2015).

Changing the "data-short-days_indexes" to "data-shortdays_indexes=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0]" only takes effect at the names of the days but don't change the dates so that they are wrong (for example Monday, 01. February instead of Sonday, 01. February. I expected that after doing the change it would be Monday, 02. February; Tuesday, 03. February, etc.)

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the report, bug found and fixed, a new update is expected later today!

Wow, Mr. Payne, you are that fast.😀

I allready checked the new version - it works!
Many thanks for your help.

How do you change the language of datepicker in a bilingual form in CF5 ? This was possible with the Mootools datepicker in CF4.
Thanks
J-F Giroux

You can use a locales string in the date picker short days setting and translate it under the "Locales" tab.

This works nicely but the Instructions in the Advanced tab of the Datepicker Edit element settings should be modified for the Short Days and Short Months. It should mention that the elements must be in “ “ and not in ‘ ‘ and separated by , without space.
Thanks

Thanks for the hint, I will add that!

Max
