Can't find the eval-funcs

[Felix Oertel-2]

Hi folks,

I've got a database-field, type = input and eval = date. The value is
entered as date but stored as timestamp.

Is it right that the eval-function "date" converts the timestamp to a
readable date to be displayed in the input-field and back to a timestamp
to be stored in the database?

I want to change the date-format in the input-field from dd-mm-yyyy to
d.m.yy and I got the feeling that this eval-function would be a good
point to start with.

Where are this eval-functions located at? Any other ideas, how to change
the date-format in the input-fields?

Regards, Felix

PS: I got the normal date-output (e. g. list view) formated allready by
configuring localconf.php but somehow the date in the input-fields is
not affected.

PSS: Everytime I talk about input-fields in here I think of the
input-fields in a backend TCEform.

Yes, exactly.

The date formats currently are hardcoded.

Are t3lib/jsfunc.evalfield.js and t3lib/class.t3lib_tceforms.php good
places to start at? :-)

I can't find the global date()-function, too. But there is a function
called "formatValue" in *tceforms.php.
To call this function your field need some extra settings. You can set
them in a ext_tables.php in an extension like this:

$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['date']['config']['readOnly'] = true;
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['date']['config']['format'] = 'date';
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['date']['config']['format.']['option'] =
'd.m.Y';

To allow the "option" setting you have to comment out
Line 3194 in *tceforms.php:

//$TSconfig = t3lib_div::removeDotsFromTS($TSconfig);

In my opinion there is a mistake with this function. Here is the current
Bug:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12148

But I don't know if there are any other problems in deactivating this.
I'm not in the core team...it was only a hint for you to show your
fields in given format.

As Oliver told you: It's hardcoded and in my opinion there is no good
possibility to save your value in the given format d.m.Y.

They are hardcoded for display in BE input field (TCEforms). But usually
you can instruct your editors to use a specific format. Or is this a
problem for your application.

In the Install-Tool you can change the date format of BE input field
from European (dd-mm-yyyy) to American date format (mm-dd-yyyy) using
configuration option "USdateFormat]"


I do not really know why it is so important for you to have your custom
format in the BE. In the FE website, you can of course output any format
you like using stdWrap's "date" function.


greets,
Bernhard

Hi,

atm it's not possible to use custom date format for tceforms and eval.
There is only the "USmode" feature.

As we now use ExtJS and have a new date.format function it will be
configurable in 4.4
