Search on "includes/view-function.php" between line 363 ~ 374, you'll find this code <pre><code> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['date_mm']}</label> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['date_dd']}</label> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['date_yyyy']}</label> </code></pre> replace with this one <pre><code> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['date_yyyy']}</label> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['date_mm']}</label> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['date_dd']}</label> </code></pre> 2. Edit your "includes/entry-functions.php" on line 111 you will find this code <pre><code>$date_value = date("m/d/Y",strtotime($date_value));</code></pre> replace with <pre><code>$date_value = date("Y/m/d",strtotime($date_value));</code></pre> ` gertduvenage on "Date Format" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/date-format-1#post-3550 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 12:31:50 +0000 gertduvenage 3550@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Thanks 'yuniar'..it would be fine ! Please let me have the hack if you dont mind ? Thanks Gert yuniar on "Date Format" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/date-format-1#post-3543 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:13:45 +0000 yuniar 3543@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I'm afraid it's not possible to add that format into the field properties. At this moment, only two format supported: 1) mm/dd/YYYY 2) dd/mm/YYYY However, it is possible to 'translate' one of those format into 'YYYY/mm/dd'. So, simply add one of those format,,,and then the result would be 'YYYY/mm/dd'. Is this okay for you? If so, I'll let you know the hack. gertduvenage on "Date Format" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/date-format-1#post-3530 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:16:18 +0000 gertduvenage 3530@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Is it possable to add a Date Format YYYY/mm/dd for selection in the field properties ,for the date field during design ?
