Use dateformat outside the function

    Hi again,

    After hours of trying another issue.

    I’m building a date format switch using this tutorial.

    I have changed the converter to change the php-dateformat into js-dateformat:

    // set datepicker date formats for europe and us
function datepicker_dateformat($output) {
	if ($output == 'j F Y' || $output == 'd/m/Y') {
		$output = 'dd-mm-yy';
	} else {
		$output = 'yy-mm-dd';
	}
	return $output;
}

    Question, how do I retrieve the $output for use as dateformat in the value of my date input field?

    value="<?php echo date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ), esc_attr( $event_date ) ); ?>"

    I know I have to replace the date_format part, but what should I add here?

    Yes, did found it myself.

    Don’t use the function for this.
    Create this to set the same dateformat for value:

    // set datepicker date formats for europe and us
$output = get_option( 'date_format' );
if ($output == 'j F Y' || $output == 'd/m/Y') {
	$output = 'd-m-Y';
} else {
	$output = 'Y-m-d';
}

// the date input field value
value="<?php echo date_i18n( $output , esc_attr( $event_date ) ); ?>"

    Resolved ??
