# May 31st 2016, 01:16 flashios09 $this->Form->input('expense_date',['templateVars'=>['name'=>'expense_date', 'value' => $expense->date_var->i18nFormat(...)]]);
# May 31st 2016, 01:16 flashios09 did you try something like this :
# May 31st 2016, 01:14 royalty and of course i have js stuff to get this going as well
# May 31st 2016, 01:13 royalty which is kind of dumb, but i just wanted to get something working
# May 31st 2016, 01:13 royalty the name thing doesn't really work, i have to feed it the name
# May 31st 2016, 01:12 royalty pretty much the app_form is the datepicker
# May 31st 2016, 01:11 royalty here you go, heh https://gist.github.com/Modicrumb/397c6a73fd197df162213cbeac6a15ea
# May 31st 2016, 01:09 flashios09 .ctp that has the datepicker
# May 31st 2016, 01:09 royalty okay, you mean the view class or the template or both?
# May 31st 2016, 01:08 flashios09 gist the view file
# May 31st 2016, 01:08 royalty I only want one format I think, and will update based on locale I suppose
# May 31st 2016, 01:08 flashios09 and if you want another format you have to create two methods
# May 31st 2016, 01:07 royalty I wish I could use that on all fields that are not created or modified and datetime fields automatically
# May 31st 2016, 01:07 flashios09 if you have 3 or 4 date fields, you have to create two methods foreach one
# May 31st 2016, 01:06 royalty I think I will just leave that there
# May 31st 2016, 01:06 royalty for me the setter in the entity is working
# May 31st 2016, 01:06 royalty I see
# May 31st 2016, 01:06 flashios09 when i submit the form i will get the input:hidden value (sql format)
# May 31st 2016, 01:05 flashios09 after the input text that display the nice format
# May 31st 2016, 01:05 flashios09 i add a hidden input with date/time/datetime sql format
# May 31st 2016, 01:04 flashios09 what i do with datepicker
# May 31st 2016, 01:04 royalty sure, i'll try that
# May 31st 2016, 01:04 royalty hmmm
# May 31st 2016, 01:02 flashios09 2- parse it manually using Cake\I18n\Time::parse method
# May 31st 2016, 01:01 flashios09 1- if you will patch/new the entity, this will parse and re-convert it to date object
# May 31st 2016, 01:01 flashios09 you have too choice
# May 31st 2016, 01:01 flashios09 and get the request data then
# May 31st 2016, 01:00 flashios09 when you submit the form
# May 31st 2016, 01:00 flashios09 just use i18nFormat()
# May 31st 2016, 01:00 flashios09 in the view when you need convert the var to any format
# May 31st 2016, 00:59 flashios09 always set the date as object to the view layer
# May 31st 2016, 00:59 royalty brb
# May 31st 2016, 00:59 royalty I was messing with the form input templates
# May 31st 2016, 00:59 royalty i kind of got it but failed at it at the same time, were you able to do it?
# May 31st 2016, 00:59 royalty I was trying to make cake automagically create datepickers for all date time field
# May 31st 2016, 00:58 royalty hmmm
# May 31st 2016, 00:58 flashios09 yes
# May 31st 2016, 00:58 royalty you do it in the view?
# May 31st 2016, 00:58 flashios09 inside a controller/model
# May 31st 2016, 00:57 royalty I thought my code should do it... https://gist.github.com/Modicrumb/b2552300ffe8c67ee63f4ab6512dd491
# May 31st 2016, 00:57 flashios09 ``` $date_var->i18nFormat('...'); // any format you want to use ```
