Hi,

Quick, hopefully last, question.

The EventEspresso -> Transactions page allows you to filter the transactions by a date range. The format of the date fields are mm/dd/yyyy which in the UK causes confusion. Is there any way of changing the format so that it appears as dd/mm/yyyy?

Please email registrations@codingforsail.uk when you reply.

Kind regards,

Anita

Hi Anita,

Currently not, if you switch out the format for dd/mm/yyyy the code still assumes it’s the use format meaning 30/05/2019 is invalid.

To use that format we’ll need to do some refactoring and I can add feature request for us to investigate this in a future version of Event Espresso.

However, what you can do currently is use dd-mm-yyyy, that format will work with the current code fine.

Hi Tony,

Yes a UK brain would understand dd-mm-yyyy as a format. It’s the numerical month before they day that messes with our heads!

Where do I specify that format should be used?

Kind regards,

Anita

I’m in/from the UK so I understand 🙂

My apologies if I wasn’t clear above, you can’t set the format to automatically use a different format, you would need to manually enter the dates using the above format for them to work.

Hi Tony,

Wow never thought of typing a different format in the box!

Thanks,

Anita
