I want to show "DD MM YYYY" in input date entry of my date fields.
I can't see a way to do this...
Is it possible?
Will be possible in future versions of CMS?
Thanks...

<?php echo date("d m Y", strtotime($record['fieldname']))?> Make sure you change 'fieldname' to read the same as whatever the field name is for your date field.
Hope this is of some help.

I think he's talking about the input field on the CMS side rather than what is outputted on the site.
There doesn't appear to be a way to change the default display of the date field in CMSB, however there may be - perhaps Dave or someone else can confirm whether or not it's possible?

There's no automatic day to change the form fields right now but you could move their order around by editing /lib/menus/default/edit_functions.php (make a backup first then search for "use24HourFormat" to find the place where the date fields are displayed).
Hope that helps!

I'll wait for this feature because it is very important to users of my region.
Date entry field must have "DD-MM-YYYY" entry format and showing format too....

And how should time be shown on the entry format? And is it 12 hour or 24 hour?

In the meantime, you can set 24 hour format in the field editor, and if you are comfortable editing PHP you can edit this file (make a backup) to swap the date field order:
/cmsAdmin/lib/menus/default/edit_functions.php
- make backup of file
- open file for editing
- search for ":mon"
- find these two lines:
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:mon'>$monthOptions</select>\n";
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:day'>$dayOptions</select>\n";
and swap them like this:
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:day'>$dayOptions</select>\n";
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:mon'>$monthOptions</select>\n";
Hope that helps!
