Format of datetime format using textfield()

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I have a datetime field in a database table. However in some views I only want the date and not the time to echo. Is there a parameter I can add to textfield() to define this output?

Thanks,

Dubby.

date("d-M-Y",strtotime($model->myDateTime))

Sorry, I should have clarified. This is in the form. The code currently looks like:


		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'invoiceDate'); ?>

How can I change the output here? I was hoping I could add something into the $options.

<?php 

$model->invoiceDate = date("d-M-Y",strtotime($model->invoiceDate ));

echo $form->textField($model,'invoiceDate');

?>

note :you must convert again to mysql datetime format on beforesave()

hope it’s right… ;)

OK, got it now. I was just wondering what the best practice was for Yii.

Thanks for the responses.

I use the same solution of fastcrash.

When I create internationalized website I use:




Yii::app()->dateFormatter->formatDateTime($model->invoiceDate ));

dateFormatter format the date according to the local conventions.

Yii::app()->dateFormatter->formatDateTime($model->invoiceDate ));

yes, you are right [color="#8B0000"]zaccaria[/color], that is the right thing to do it in yii way.

sorry, never play with CDateFormatter before.

my past still influen me to use traditional code style. ;D

I found this widget very useful for my input view code:




$this->widget('CMaskedTextField',

                    array(

                         'mask'=>'99:99',

                         'model'=>$model,

                         'attribute'=>'start_time'

                         ));

Should work for date as well something like "99/99/9999".

Great framework!

Hi!

How Can I include the CMaskedTextField to the CJuiDatePicker? ??? Because each one creates a input field
