CreateDate tag format issue in the xml

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For the map catlogue createdate tag to work correct the date needs to be shown 
as yyyy-mm-dd NOT dd/mm/yyyy as it is currently showing (or at least it has for 
the Serbia mission). The map catalogue parses the xml date as 0000-00-00 which 
means the latest maps do not show in the correct location and a manual edit has 
to be made.

It'll be good to see progress on this, as it affects every map upload on every 
deployment, and the manual edit needed to correct the problem is generally 
missed by SB. Many thanks for work on this.

Example from XML file:
    <createdate>18/06/2014</createdate>
Picked up in Joomla as:
    0000-00-00 00:00:00
Displayed on map catalogue as:
    30 November -0001
Edited in Joomla to:
    2014-06-18 00:00:00

Fix as per the instructions from those who logged the issue.  Example output 
from my test run just now <createdate>2014-08-12 08:13:59</createdate>.  Needs 
testing in the MapCatalog now, which should be a priority - as already pointed 
out, this is a minor issue but a major annoyance to deployed staff.

Date format is fixed as requested. 
Not sure about the time element of the createdate though. 
The xml now shows
<createdate>2014-08-16 03:29:37</createdate>
<createtime>15:29</createtime>
The createtime is correct but how is the time element of the createdate 
formatted? 
Testing of upload to map catalog still to be completed.

Testing of upload to MapCatalog done, uploaded to here:
http://www.mapaction.org/map-catalogue/mapdetail/3448.html
The date definitely passes correctly. 
There is still some question on time formats being used in various places; 
which one is used to order the map catalog?
-1 <createdate> time element seems to either be 12 hours behind or else is in 
am/pm
-2 <createtime> time element is 24 hour and is correct and unambiguous
-3 there is also a date element showing in the map catalog that has a time 
element that is always 00:00:00 e.g. 2014-08-16 00:00:00
