DateTimeColumn Format [message #1717890]

Hi,

In a mysql table the field looks like this :

'2015-12-17 15:05:01'

and then, in Scout, the same field :

'17.12.15 15:05'

Where is the place in Scout to manage the column Date Time format??

Tx for your help,

please check out the Scout widget demoapp [1]. click on entry "Date & Time Fields" in the widget list. in the form that appears you can try the button "Now" then "Sample Format".

the corresponding code is hosted on github [2], and as you can see in method updateDateTimeFields you have to use the setFormat method. as for the possible format options you may want to consult the javadoc for class SimpleDateFormat [3].

Thank you for the answer.

I was talking about field, my mistake. In fact, I would said column content in a table.

Could you please explain me where have I to put such a set format for an entire column in a table.

in scout form fields and corresponding columns work the same or almost the same.

this means that you can use getConfiguredFormat on both the form field and your column type. just make the method return the desired format string.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the answer.

With the informations you provide, I did it as follow:

In All Pages -> My Page -> Table -> Column -> My DateTime Column

Override the getConfiguredFormat method like this:

@Override
protected String getConfiguredFormat() {
return "Y-M-d HH:mm:ss";
}

And it works perfectly well.

Thank you again for your help.
