1) class="date" will do what you ask, same for 'time' and 'datetime'.
2) db.event.vandatum.requires=IS_DATE(T("%Y-%m-%d')) then use the languages tab to create an en.py translation file (or en- en.py) and translate "%Y-%m-%d" into "%d/%m/%Y" 3) totdatum==vandatum + dagen should be totdatum=IS_DATE()(vandatum)[0] + datetime.timedelta(days=int(dagen)) IS_DATE()(vandatum)[0] uses the validator to parse the string into a date object.
