eMember Form Builder – Date Picker – Date format

[akruize]

How to change the date picker format in the form builder registration form to dd-mm-yyyy?

Is there a “Field Layout” option for that custom field?

[akruize]

Yes there is, but only align field options

No, this can’t be changed without modifying the code. When users select a date from the date-picker, the format usually doesn’t matter as they are picking the date using a visual system.

Here, this date format is not common and my customers find it confusing even though they choose from the date-picker. Can you give me the code to change this?

@akruize — Where is “here,” and how is the date represented?

[akruize]

“Here” is the Netherlands and the format is dd-mm-yyyy 31-12-2018

[admin]

We use the international date format: Year-Month-Day

You can customize the following code:

Open this file: emember-form-builder/js/emember-form-builder-validate.js

Search for “dateFormat” in that file. Change the value to what you want. I don’t know if it will cause issues with reading the value for existing data though. Since the existing data will already be saved in the other format.
