Date format in datepicker

[martin meijer]

On the last tab on my field properties I entered xnd-date on the Class tag. The result is a nice datepicker that has te format MM/DD/YY. I want to chanche this format to DD-MM-YYYY. How can I do this?

We're not setting the date format explicitly, we let Ext pick the default so that if you include a different locale file you will get that proper date format.

From the ext-lang-en_UK file:


if(Ext.util.Format){
Ext.util.Format.date = function(v, format){
if(!v) return "";
if(!(v instanceof Date)) v = new Date(Date.parse(v));
return v.dateFormat(format || "d/m/Y");
};
}

if(Ext.DatePicker){
Ext.apply(Ext.DatePicker.prototype, {
todayText : "Today",
minText : "This date is before the minimum date",
maxText : "This date is after the maximum date",
disabledDaysText : "",
disabledDatesText : "",
monthNames : Date.monthNames,
dayNames : Date.dayNames,
nextText : 'Next Month (Control+Right)',
prevText : 'Previous Month (Control+Left)',
monthYearText : 'Choose a month (Control+Up/Down to move years)',
todayTip : "{0} (Spacebar)",
format : "d/m/y"
});
}
if(Ext.form.DateField){
Ext.apply(Ext.form.DateField.prototype, {
disabledDaysText : "Disabled",
disabledDatesText : "Disabled",
minText : "The date in this field must be after {0}",
maxText : "The date in this field must be before {0}",
invalidText : "{0} is not a valid date - it must be in the format {1}",
format : "d/m/y",
altFormats : "d/m/Y|d-m-y|d-m-Y|d/m|d-m|dm|dmy|dmY|d|Y-m-d"
});
}

I'm not sure what you mean by this. What kind of setting should I configure (and where can I find it) to get the dateformat I want (dd-mm-yyyy)? Is it somewhere in my OS or something in Domino?

An easy (and somewhat less elegant) way to do this for just the dates is to edit ext-all.js

You'll see the date formats in the forms section

Dont use the exd-date in the class property, instead give it an id and put this after form.render


var dt = new Ext.form.DateField({

name: 'date',

width: 110,

allowBlank: false,

applyTo : 'test' //id in field name

});

use

format : String

The default date format string which can be overriden for localization support. The format must be valid according to Date.parseDate (defaults to 'm/d/Y').

or

Multiple date formats separated by "|" to try when parsing a user input value and it doesn't match the defined format (defaults to 'm/d/Y|n/j/Y|n/j/y|m/j/y|n/d/y|m/j/Y|n/d/Y|m-d-y|m-d-Y|m/d|m-d|md|mdy|mdY|d|Y-m-d').
