#21 Date formatting

[Fernando Telesca]

Currently, date format parameter in system config has
effect only for input and if date widget is "split text
entry". It is not useful this way. It should be effective
on js widget input and on all date outputs.

Thanks,

Everything in the system should use the date_entry widget,
and if not, the JS widget is meant to be accessed by the
popup, not manually entered. Is it a big issue to have it in
the YYYY-MM-DD format there?

Lets rate this:

- Perfect -

Enter dates manually and all possible variations of the
configured format should be checked and displayed according
that format. Ex:

Config format: DD-MM-YYYY (all output displayed this way)

Valid inputs:
1. DDMMYYYY
2. DDMMYY
3. D^M^Y where
D - 1 to 28/29/30/31 (depends on month/year)
M - 1 to 12
Y - 0 to 2099
^ - space or "/" or "-" or ".")

- Acceptable -

Enter dates on separated combos (as its possible now) and
show all dates according the configured format.

Im convinced that the way it works now is a serious
obstacle for non-english countries implementations.
