Hi,
I am using EE4 and I need to use an Australian date format in my registration form. I have updated the date format in the WordPress General settings, but this has not worked. We have not made any customisations to this, and I am wondering if there were any suggestions for this. I noticed a few other forum topics on this, but did not see a clear answer for the issue.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Currently the datepicker output format can not be changed from mm/dd/yyyy
I have created a ticket for some feedback from our developers on this with a note to update this thread with any news.

Hi Ben,
Looks like it is using the jQuery Datepicker default (US of course), and I can’t see a way of changing it without modifying a core file.
I’ll raise ticket to look into this.
If you do want to modify the core file, which we don’t really recommend, you would need to look at /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/core/templates/global_assets/scripts/form_section_validation.js, and at line ~68 where it says yearRange: eei18n.datepicker_yearRange change it to say:
yearRange: eei18n.datepicker_yearRange,
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
(for a day/month/year format).

Hi Dean,
Thanks for this, great support. Wondering if there are issues with updating a core file beyond it being overwritten with future upgrades? This would be something that we can manage.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
Well I would back up the file first just in case, but I can’t see any issues with that change as it’s relatively minor, and shouldn’t affect registrations, just the answer to those question types.
