[Tng] Format timestamp attribute

[PaoloB]

Hi,
i have update my MetaModels to TNG version.

I have a timestamp filed on my application.
If I insert a new record or update a record, I have this error:
DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (24/05/2014) at position 0 (2): Unexpected character

The date is 24/05/2014

In Contao the date format is d/m/Y
if the date is similar to 05/10/2013, the error is not present
I think it's a problem with the date format.

I did a test.
I changed the format of the date in d-m-Y and now it works.
It seems to be the character /

Ah.. i think u need to escape it like that -> 05/10/2013
Can you test it pls?

I have reset the configuration in d / m / Y
Handwriting the date 18/06/2014 you receive the same error

DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (18\/06\/2014) at position 0 (1): Unexpected character

Try MM/DD/YYYY and not DD/MM/YYYY . By the way the contao config is not used here.

[PaoloB]

Should I try to enter a date in that way or to change the date format in the general settings?

[stefanheimes]

Please enter a date in this format. As i say the config from contao has no effect.

[PaoloB]

Is not correct,
the configuration of Contao is read

I tried it and I am given the error to enter a date in the format DD / MM / YYYY

Problem understood and accepted. You are right. The widtget itself use the contao settings. So it is easy to add this information to the attribute class. I hope this will fix the problem.
