Hi
I'm trying to change the date format on the emails to european format (dd/mm/yy)

I changed it in ' jquery.ui.datepicker.js' (two places) but it hasn't changed anything - where else do I need to look ?

many thanks
Dave

That format can be set inside the form builder on the elements properties tab.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Thanks, Eric, I don't want to use a date on the form though .. it's only in the verification emails that I receive with the form contents ??

That format should follow through from the form. Does it actually change?

Hi Eric
If I use the date field on a form it displays exactly as I set it, but the date at the bottom of the email (with IP address) both to me & the sender, displays in the US format (see attached file).
I assume that this is somewhere in the code but I cannot find it - I've changed a couple of files, but I'm guessing that these are what populates the date form field (jquery.ui.datepicker.js & messages_datepicker.js)

If you use individual form variables instead of the _form_results_ in the email notification you should only get the desired entires.

Other than this, I'm happy with what _form_results_ produces ..... I just thought that this would be a 'simple' change in the code somewhere. Unfortunately I'm starting to think that this cannot be easily done :(

You can alter the config.cls.php.
I think it starts at Line 170 then down to 189.

Thanks Eric, that sorted it.
I'd checked every file (at least I thought I had !!), but hadn't seen it :)

Many thanks
