Ext.form.DateField - formatting ignored?

[fruitwerks]

I have an editorgrid and a few date fields, when I edit these using the Ext.form.DateField, it returns a very detailed string to the server.

Wed Jul 25 1900 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)

All I need is m-d-Y, and I have specified that within my editor and the column model. When I manually enter dates to the db in the proper form YYYY-MM-DD, they render fine in the grid. How to I change the output of the date picker to store my desired format?

Thanks!

Confused.

EditorGridPanels don't submit anything.

So. You have some DateFields in a form which you are submitting?

I am using the date picker within an editor grid.

How have you set up the editor grid to communicate with ther server?

Good question, and I was fearing that might be my issue. At current afteredit performs a commit, possibly not giving the date a chance to get formatted?

I would like to have an 'update' button to commit all the dirty fields once I am done editing.

Thanks!

You using some of this new Ext.direct stuff? I mean you can't just use a normal EditorGridPanel and expect to update the server in any way!

hmm...

var grid = new Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel

...

listeners: {
            afteredit: function(e) {
                var conn = new Ext.data.Connection();
                conn.request({
                    url: 'quickchart.php?act=update',
                    params: {
                        id: e.record.id,
                        field: e.field,
                        value: e.value
                    },
                    success: function(resp, opt) {
                        grid.getStore().getById(opt.params.id).commit();
                    },
                    failure: function(resp, opt) {
                        grid.getStore().getById(opt.params.id).reject();
                    }
                });

I guess that is my problem then... Very dirty and dangerous, I just set it up that way for testing - I think I will work on adding that update button now

Thanks!

OK, you just use e.value? It's a Date, and what do you EXPECT it to do? Read your mind?

It just does a toString()

If you want it formatted, format it.

Thanks for the info! This is all new to me I need to step back and take a different look at the project.

Thanks Again!

I eventually came up with this...

        listeners: {
            afteredit: function(e) {
                var value = Ext.isDate(e.value) ? e.value.format("Y-m-d") : e.value;    
                console.log(e.value);
                var conn = new Ext.data.Connection();
                conn.request({
                    url: 'quickchart.php?act=update',
                    params: {
                        id: e.record.id,
                        field: e.field,
                        value: value
                    }.......

Thanks!
