Re: Changing the cocoon default date format

[Jan Hoskens]

Do you mean entering a date in the webbrowser? When setting a date in 
the definition with  a specified format, this format is used for 
entering dates in the input fields of your browser. If you want your 
date format in your xml file (binded data source/destination) you need 
to set your binding formatting.

So
<fd:field id="input">
   <fd:label>mylabel</fd:label>
   <fd:datatype base="date">
       <fd:convertor type="formatting">
            <fd:patterns>
                <fd:pattern>dd/MM/yyyy</fd:pattern>
          </fd:patterns>
      </fd:convertor>
  </fd:datatype>
</fd:field>
Would make you're browser inputfield accept the defined format (if this 
is what you needed, didn't it work? Also when specifying a pattern, try 
leaving out the style="long" attribute.)

The next sample should set the date format in your xml file that was 
binded to your form:

<fb:value id="input" path="input">
     <fd:convertor datatype="date">
          <fd:patterns>
               <fd:pattern>dd/MM/yyyy</fd:pattern>                    
              
            </fd:patterns>
       </fd:convertor>
  </fb:value>

Hope this helps.

Hi ,
How can we change the cocoon default date format. cocoon is accepts 
MM/dd/YY. When we change the format as YYYY-mm-DD. Cocoon doesn't 
allows us to enter date in this format. 
 
We have the tried the following :

    <fd:field id="Date">
      <fd:label><i18n:text> Date: </i18n:text></fd:label>
      <fd:datatype base="date">
        <fd:converter type="formatting" style="long">
          <fd:patterns>
            <fd:pattern>YYYY-mm-DD</fd:pattern>
          </fd:patterns>
        </fd:converter>
      </fd:datatype>
      <fd:validation />
    </fd:field>
 
Can any one please let us know where we are going wrong or any pointer 
to achieve the same would appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Moin
