List Manager Forum

Hi guys,

Backend: Configuration: Front view config: Date format: y-m-d

then: Backend: Manage Data: New

--> my field of type "today" appears filled with 15-11-18

Quite okay.

BUT:

Configuration: Front view config: Date format: yy-mm-dd

then: Backend: Manage Data: New

--> my field of type "today" appears filled with 1515-1111-1818

Could this be a BUG?

ah, obviously a mismatch between help text and reality:

in controller=listing&task=config under the big blue "help" button there is a link to "date format" stuff that explains what I see.

(actually your link is broken, but the info can be found here: http://www.dynarch.com/jscal/#sec34)


I was misled by the "date format" help text accessible in Front View Config: "date format info"

Here it is claimed, e.g., that y means 15 and yy means 2015.

So, my problem solved, but may be you want to fix your help text ;-)

Hmm, sorry for speaking to myself all the time ;-)

Actually it is NOT solved.

According to the format string mapping in the link quoted in previous message,

Y-m-d H:M should yield something like "2015-11-18 18:32"

This is not the case. In the backend data create view I get the correct date+time when using Y-m-d H:i as format string

When checking the resulting entry in the frontend, what I read is "Y-11-18 H:i"

So, there is a DIFFERENT mapping of date format string used in frontend view compared to backend view...
