Hi everybody,

I want to use cfinput type=datefield and i can't obtain dates in french format.

I have <cfset Locale=setLocale("French (standard)")> in my application.cfm

Here my code :

<cfinput type="datefield" name="DateCloture" validateat="onSubmit" validate="eurodate"

daynames="Di,Lu,Ma,Me,Je,Ve,Sa"  monthnames="Janvier,Février,Mars,Avril,Mai,Juin,Juillet,Août,Septembre,Octobre,Novembre,Décembre">

When i select 3 april 2013 in the calendar it gives me 04/03/2013 and in the database i get 4 march 2013. Of course i tried to use LSDateFormat(MaDate,"dd/mm/yyyy") but without success.

Is it possible to have french dates using datefield and How ?

Thanks in advance for your answer and sorry for my poor english.

Jean-Jacques.

Bonjour à tous,

J'essaie en vain d'utiliser cfinput type=datefield avec des dates au format français.

J'ai mis <cfset Locale=setLocale("French (standard)")> dans le fichier application.cfm

Voilà mon code :

<cfinput type="datefield" name="DateCloture" validateat="onSubmit" validate="eurodate"

daynames="Di,Lu,Ma,Me,Je,Ve,Sa" monthnames="Janvier,Février,Mars,Avril,Mai,Juin,Juillet,Août,Septembre,Octobre,Novembre,Décembre">

Quand je sélectionne 3 avril 2013 dans le calendrier l'affichage est 04/03/2013 et la date sauvegardée est le 4 mars 2013. J'ai bien sûr essayé d'utiliser LSDateFormat(MaDate,"dd/mm/yyyy") sans succès.

Est-il possible d'utiliser datefield et de conserver la gestion des dates françaises et si oui comment ?

D'avance merci de votre aide,

Jean-Jacques.

Not sure if this is going to help, but have you thought of using <select> tags for the days and months and you insert it into the database the way you want it?

Give s you more control on how you display it.

Hi cf_junkie,

Thank you for your answer.

I don't use 3 <select> for days, months and years because 1) it needs to manage invalid dates 2) it's less convenient for users then datefield.

Anyway thank you and regards,

Jean-Jacques
