is this possible?

[Paul Joseph <pj...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am using the CForms date field and the Matt-Kruse
calendar widget that comes along with it.

Is it possible to allow the user to enter the date in
more than one format for a given locale?

ex. 28/02/2005 or Feb 28, 2005 or 280205 and so on? 

I guess I could try to do a regex, but then will run
into I18N issues (I think)

thx!
Paul

have you already tried something like this (more than one pattern for 
the same locale)? i'm just guessing...

<fd:convertor type="formatting">
   <fd:patterns>
     <fd:pattern>MM/dd/yyyy</fd:pattern>
     <fd:pattern locale="de_CH">dd.MM.yyyy</fd:pattern>
     <fd:pattern locale="de_CH">dd-MM-yyyy</fd:pattern>
   </fd:patterns>
</fd:convertor>

if i'm right, you can construct any pattern if you do it like in the 
SimpleDateFormat-javaclass.

greetings
stefan
