Magento

Hi,

when i create a new module, in the file “magento-local\app\code\local\Altima\News\Block\Adminhtml\News\Edit\Tab”, for example with a datetime field :

$fieldset->addField(’date’, ‘date’, array(
‘label’ => Mage::helper(’core’)->__(’Date’),
‘title’ => Mage::helper(’core’)->__(’Date’),
‘name’ => ‘date’,
‘image’ => $this->getSkinUrl(’images/grid-cal.gif’),
‘required’ => true,
));

when i choose a date value, the calendar return a date format “MM/DD/YY” while my local configuration is Europe (DD/MM/YY). I valid form and continue edit, the date is not good.

Thanks for your attention

I got the same problem. I’m looking for a solution too.
I can’t get that works fine.
If I got the right format into my form, I get a strange date into database.
When I got the right format into my database, I see the form like your screenshot.
:-(

Change your databasefieldtype to “date” instead of “datetime” and it will work! I dont know why, but there is an issue about the “datetime"-datebasefields, i couldn’t solve, yet…

oh!!!

i find very ‘BIZARRE’ to change database structure. Thanks for your response but i search again !!!!

A response , may be :

public function dateFormat($date)
{
return $this->formatDate($date, Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_SHORT);
}

I also getting same problem of date format. :(
I have added new parameter of format in the bellow fieldset but than also facing same problem.

$dateFormatIso = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getDateFormat(Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_MEDIUM);
$fieldset->addField(’start_date’, ‘date’, array(
‘label’ => Mage::helper(’banner’)->__(’Start Date’),
‘title’ => Mage::helper(’banner’)->__(’Start Date’),
‘name’ => ‘start_date’,
‘image’ => $this->getSkinUrl(’images/grid-cal.gif’),
‘format’ => $dateFormatIso,
‘value’ => ‘start_date’,
‘time’ => true,
//’required’ => true,
));

Please help me to come out of this issue.. :(
