DateChooser validation error when french language is used

[denis]

Hi all,

I have opened a issue :https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/BroadleafCommerce/issues/204 because there is a problem when we use the french translation on GWT admin. Smartgwt datechooser is translated in french but when you select a date, the form expect a date with english format MM/DD/YYYY.



I have opened several threads on smartgwt forum and stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17931657/smartgwt-2-5-datasourcedatetimefield-i18n-validation-error) but i'm still unable to resolve the issue.

Is there someone that could help me?

Thanks in advance

Problem solved. You have to use the code below during application initialization (e.g EntryPoint) :

Code: Select all

private static final String DATE_FORMAT = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm";

public void onModuleLoad() {   
        DateUtil.setShortDateDisplayFormatter(new DateDisplayFormatter() {     
            @Override
            public String format(Date date) {
                if(date != null)
                {
                    final DateTimeFormat dateFormatter = DateTimeFormat.getFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
                    return dateFormatter.format(date);
                }
                return null;
            }
        });

        DateUtil.setDateParser(new DateParser()
          {
             public Date parse(String dateString)
             {
                 try{
                     if(dateString != null){
                         final DateTimeFormat format = DateTimeFormat.getFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
                         return format.parse(dateString);
                     }
                 }catch(Exception e){
                     e.printStackTrace();
                 }
                 return null;
             }
          });
}
