Date / Time Field Order

[overmetal61]

Is it possible to change the order of the Date / Time Field?

I have it set on Date, under type selection but I do not like that it does YYYY-MM-DD

I would rather it be MM-DD-YYYY. Since this varies among users, I am willing to modify my own PHP file if you are can help me locate where I would make this change.

I have WordPress setup to use MM-DD-YYYY format so I would like consistency across all my pages.

Thanks much!

In order to change date format you need to edit two files.
Please follow those steps:

1. Open user-meta/views/generateForm.php by text editor (through ftp client)
2. Scroll down to buttom, Find those two lines:
$(“.um_datetime”).datetimepicker({ dateFormat: ‘yy-mm-dd’, timeFormat: ‘hh:mm:ss’ });
$(“.um_date”).datepicker({ dateFormat: ‘yy-mm-dd’ });
change ‘yy-mm-dd’ to ‘mm-dd-yy’
3. Save changes.
4. Open user-meta/assets/js/jquery/validationEngine-en.js
5. find “date” section (line number 72 in version 1.1.1),
remove or comments:
“regex”: /^\d{4}[\/\-](0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$/,
add:
“regex”: /^(0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-]\d{4}$/,
6. find “datetime” section (line number 82 in version 1.1.1),
remove or comments:
“regex”: /^\d{4}[\/\-](0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])\s?([01][0-9]|[2][0-4]):[0-6][0-9]:[0-6][0-9]\s?$/,
Add:
“regex”: /^(0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-]\d{4}\s?([01][0-9]|[2][0-4]):[0-6][0-9]:[0-6][0-9]\s?$/,
7. Save changes.

Keep in mind, you should keep backup your updated file before user-meta version update. unless, those file will be overwrite with new version files.

Thanks.

I need change lang of datapicker, names of days, months. By default I get the calendar in English and I need it in Spanish (I have the wordpress language in Spanish)

Hi,

Unfortunately, User Meta does not have the language selecting feature specifically in date-picker yet.
However, upon your request, we will consider adding this option in future updates.

Thanks!
