Hi,

Wordpress 4.3.1
EE – Version 4.8.25.p

Reg form using Date Picker Option, Im trying to change the output format when date selected to dd/mm/yyyy .

I’ve tried adding code on https://eventespresso.com/topic/localisation-of-datepicker-in-ee4/#post-171758 to functions.php file but no luck.

I’ve also tried changing code in form_section_validation.js

//yearRange: eei18n.datepicker_yearRange
yearRange: eei18n.datepicker_yearRange,
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',

This also didnt work

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan,

It turns out that the code in the other thread you linked to is for the datepicker that appears on the page where you create events and set dates for sale start dates, event dates, and so on.

You can set a default date format to the registration form datepicker input by adding something like this to your site:

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

Thanks Josh,

Issue here is all dates previously entered and new dates will have different formats? Any way around this?

Hi Alan,

A time machine. Seriously though you can go in and edit the existing entries so they have the date format you require.
