Zend Framework - JQuery - Date Picker - Format Date to YYYY-mm-dd

Question

Im using a JQuery DatePicker in a Zend Framework based application Form. Here is the code for the date picker

$this->addElement(\'datePicker\',\'movie_release         


        

Answer 1

Ok I finally found how to do it:

$element = new ZendX_JQuery_Form_Element_DatePicker('dp1',
            array('jQueryParams' => array('dateFormat' => 'yy-mm-dd'))
        );
$this->addElement($element);

That's it! Thanks for your help.

Answer 2

Be aware that safari does not recognise the format YYYY-MM-DD

Invalid date in safari

Answer 3

First use Zend_Locale to set up date format, then with ZendX_JQuery:

$picker = new ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper_DatePicker();
$picker->resolveZendLocaleToDatePickerFormat();

Answer 4

Try adding this to your array:

'dateFormat' => 'yy-mm-dd',

If you're still having trouble, see if you can upgrade to the most recent version of the control from jQuery UI's site. Here is usage documentation for date formats: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#date-formats
