The frontend calendar always return "dd/mm/yyyy" format

[IterationCorp]

Hello

Date format from Contao in settings is : Y-m-d, so I setup the same for your calendar picker validation.

The calendar picker always return something like 30/01/2017 and not 2017-01-30, so validation is not working.

I understand how to activate the validation, but how to make the calendar picker return the correct date format? Thanks

oh. Thank you for the report. It seems, the format will be generated out of the regional definition (language of the root page). Generally this is a bug, because the extension sets a parameter format but the correct name should be dateFormat (http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-dateFormat).

We will fix this soon.

@IterationCorp Please try https://github.com/hofff/contao-calendarfield/commit/9984870caecf9f5bacc03111d33d154fd76acde5 ... the probleme should be fixed.

There was also a bug with receiving the date format from the configuration. Now, the format will be searched in the following order:

• from from field config, if not empty
• otherwise from page config, if not empty
• otherwise from system config

Thank you so much! Look like ok now. Your plugin is really essential to make Contao works in a proper way. I'm really surprised this behaviour is not in the native Contao code.
