Change format of Calendar (J_Calendar)

Change format of Calendar (J_Calendar) foi criado por Russell English
Is there anyway to change the format of the date that is created when selecting a date from the J_Calendar?

It appears to be in  DATE_FORMAT_LC4 , but I can't find this to create a content override

Thanks Andres, just found the XML file I need to edit.

I've tried editing the XML file, but it's not working correctly. Also, accourding to your wiki here www.component-creator.com/wiki/index.php...ndar_(Date_Selector) there should be a format option within the field editor in Component Creator, but there doesn't appear to be.

Any ideas please?

Thanks Andres, I've tried to change the date format (in the XML) to ="%d-%m-%Y" from here docs.joomla.org/Calendar_form_field_type but for some reason, whenever the date is entered (using the component created by component-creator) and then saved, the date is saved as 000-00-00

I've tried this on several components as outputted by component-creator and they all give the same result.

Any ideas?

I modified my form XML file as Russell pointed out here - www.component-creator.com/wiki/index.php...ndar_(Date_Selector)  to change the format of the date generated in the date selector. As expected, this date format did not match up with the search function and an error was returned;

COM_PRUEBA_SEARCH_FILTER_DATE_FORMAT

Since the name of my component is 'com_boardmeeting' and not 'com_prueba' this seemed odd to me, so I did some digging. In the site side 'meetings' model I found this;
if ($error_dateformat)
      {
         $app->enqueueMessage(JText::_("COM_PRUEBA_SEARCH_FILTER_DATE_FORMAT"), "warning");
Sure enough I have this entry in my language file, but prefixed with my component name. After changing 'PRUEBA' to 'BOARDMEETING' the readable error from the language file shows up.

Now with the error at least showing correctly I know I'm on the right path to changing the date format.

It appears that if I modify this function the search may work (or at least not return the error). I'll report back for Russells sake when I'm done tinkering.

(In the same model file that I found the bug)
private function isValidDate($date)
   {
      return preg_match("/^(19|20)\d\d[-](0[1-9]|1[012])[-](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$/", $date) && date_create($date);
   }

I would like to stress that the ability to change the date format for a component centrally, even if not in a language file would be much appreciated. I personally prefer the default Y-M-D format since it's easily understandable anywhere in the world, but several times now I have needed to change it in a component or my customer would not accept.
