Date picker dead, what date format should I use?

    I am talking about the backend date picker here. It died on me. I can’t turn off plugins since this is a live site.

    WHY isn’t the date picker the standard built in jQuery date picker, which would minimize the risk of this ever happening?

    So I have tried to manually write in the event dates in the from and to fields, in vain. What is the right date format? Is the 3rd of February 2014 written as 2/3/2014 or 2014-02-03 or something else?

    Thank you.

    Hiya,

    The date format is dd/mm/yyyy

    Your issue is highly likely to be a theme or plugin conflict so the sooner you can try disabling plugins and reverting to the default theme the sooner you can uncover the cause.

    Thanks,

    Hi fripp,

    I’m always surprised to read that people can’t debug because they are developing on a live site.

    Would you care to share your own experience: you don’t set up a test website because you don’t know or because you don’t want to spend the time ?

    There is no hidden agenda behind my question … I’m just curious

    Thanks

    Well, Monsieur

    I’m not developing on a live site. The site is live, since it is already delivered to the client.

    The development/test site is terminated after the development and testing was completed.

    And the problem has arisen after delivery. I am using different approaches depending on how many developers are involved. If it’s a simple site I develop locally or on my test server. If we are a team, we set up a staging server with versioning and ability to push to live.

    Have a similar issue with the Front End Form, Date Input.
    Datepicker not working.
    dd/mm/yyyy – Format by key Input not working.

    I tried several other Formats, always coming up with
    a Failure Report
    Daten müssen richtig formatiert werden. Bitte benutze die Datumsauswahl.

    Datas have to be formatted. Please use the Date Selection.

    Have you tried with all other plugins disabled and while running the default theme? It could be there’s a Javascript conflict causing a problem.

    Thanks alot for this very quick response.

    Yes, know why the Datepicker does not come up: a JAVA Conflict.
    I will work on that …

    But my main Question is: If I do not use Datepicker,
    which format I can use to key in the Date value in the Form?
    Tried to use the above on, 12/12/2013, but didnt work.
    Used 12-12-2013, and some other combinations, too.

    Where do you check that format?

    hi y’all.

    No, I haven’t got a link to share, since it’s a back end problem. The front end link to the events-page is https://www.thesweden.se/kalendarium/

    I downloading the whole site to be able to change template and disable all plugins.

    This format work for me: 12/12/2013

    You should find you can’t enter in characters (like an – character) that aren’t allowed.

    It is possible you’ve mixed up the day and the month (24/12/2013 vs. 12/24/2013)?

    Oh sorry. RESOLVED.

    I must have had a blow to the head or something. Had a plugins-folder in my theme folder for overrides that messed things up.

    Thanks https://www.diffnow.com/ and thanks for your replies.

    Sorry.

    Actually the date format is not defined when the datepicker is created, so it is using your national format.
    This is why everybody is saying something different and is still right ??

    For me 04/11/2013 works fine and it means 4rth of Nov. 2013

    If I refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country, for Sweden it should be 2013-11-04
