1.6.4 No german date formatting on custom fields

    I have a german WordPress installation running wpml/woocommerce and Types. I have some custom date fields on my custom post types. It seems like there is some language formatting problem. I can Save November and August dates for example as this months are written the same in English and German. But I can’t add any December (in german Dezember) or October (German: Oktober) dates.

    I downgraded to 1.6.3 and everything works fine. I hope you can fix that in a future update so I can get all my sites using your plugin up to date again.

    thanks

    When I try to save Dezember 2, 2014 in 1.6.4 I get an error that I should enter a valid date.

    Let me try and reproduce your issue on a local install and I will get back to you.

    Regards

    It works fine here on a fresh spanish installation.

    Have you tried this with only Types plugin enabled?

    I suspect that another plugin is interfering with the date localization in the datepicker.

    I just made a local copy and updatet to 1.6.4 again.
    Deactivated all plugins except Types and it still dosen’t work.

    Best regards from Switzerland

    I’m experiencing the same problems as ge-sehen (german WordPress, types but no woocommerce)

    I’ve got the same problem here.

    @caridad: Is there a plan to solve this issue? I’d like to keep my client installations up to date. I still believe it’s an issue with swiss date formatting.

    Installation
    – German WordPress 4.1
    – Types 1.6.4

    We have several reports about this issue and we are working towards a fix. It will be released as soon as we have it.

    Thanks for your update on this. I’m glad you’re working it out.

    Thanks Micha

    Any news on this one? It’s still not working…

    Hi @caridadz,

    maybe I can provide a hint:

    Since strtotime() only covers a limited number of date formats, the plugin falls back to this default time format:
    $date_format = 'F j, Y'

    … “F” meaning “A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March”. , of course.

    This seems to break date validation/parsing if the locale is – for example – set to german or other languages where months carry different names, making strtotime() bound to fail.

    I seem to have found a workaround for my wordpress installation by putting in a fallback that’s not prone for locale errors, like e.g. ‘Y-m-d’ (ISO style date). My datepicker seems to be working again after modifing the default in wpcf_get_date_format() and getDateFormat().
