Help with dateformat and <cfcalendar> PLZ!...

Report · Dec 11, 2009

It's me again .. im having two littles questions....

1. The truth Is that i need help with dateformat in <cfcalendar>.
the dateformat defaults its mm / dd / yyyy and I live in Latin America and for most I have tried and not been able to change that.

if I change the format to dateformat dd / mm / yyyy I still have the month ahead so i dont get the dates i wish.

im trying to get in those cases 06/12/09... :s

2. can be obtained only calendars that are next to the texfield without having to draw the big calendar?? How??

i wold like to have only the calendars next to

"FECHA DE INICIO" [ date ] "calendar"

"FECHA FINAL" [ date ] "calendar"

and "CONSULTAR" button for submit dates.

sorry for the inconvenience ... not knowing is just not knowing.

 <cfparam name="Form.enddate" default="#dateformat(now()-1, 'mm/dd/yyyy')#">
 <cfparam name="Form.selectdate" default="#dateformat(now(), 'mm/dd/yyyy')#">

The mask attribute of cfcalendar allows you to specify the format.

Hi,

Use the "dateformat" functions in your value attribute...

<cfinput

type="dateField"

name="startdate"

label="FECHA DE INICIO"
width="100"

value="#DateFormat(Form.startdate,'DD/MM/YYYY')#"

/>

<cfinput

type="dateField"

name="enddate"

label="FECHA FINAL"

width="100"
value="#DateFormat(Form.enddate,'DD/MM/YYYY')#"

/>

today is December 11 of 2009 (12/11/09), i change the mask
to dd/mm/yyyy and it should be "11/12/09" but the calendar
shows NOVEMBER 12 of 2009.

Check your Locale. The current locale determines how the dates are interpreted:

Yours is probably "English (US)". So the date string will be interpreted as a U.S. date (MM/DD/YYYY). Change the locale to something that uses a European style date (DD/MM/YYYY).

Example:
<cfset setLocale("Spanish (Standard)") />
<cfcalendar name="selectedDate"
selectedDate="#Form.selectdate#"

... rest of settings
