How to change the format of dates should be clearer

Hello,

Great job, it's a nice project. I was just annoyed by the format of dates that was only following american style and I didn't find in administration where was the parameter to define my favourite format.

Knowing dojo, I wanted to go in the DateTextBox widgets to test if just adding a constraint on the display format will work for me. I found that this was present on one file, but commented. So I guessed that there should be a good reason for that and reading other topics I realize that just changing the preferences of my browser (edit/preferences/content/languages) from en_US (the default I never changed) to fr_BE does exactly what I want.

Wonderful, I've learned something new that I should implement in my applications using dojo, but I think it's worth to mention it somewhere, then why not in the 'user parameters' page. The soft is able to detect the browser and then display the ad hoc message to instruct the user how to modify the browser's locale settings.

Thanks a lot for what you are doing.
Ciao

Hi,

Ok well understood, and I think it's a good manner for dealing with locale formatting. By the way, this is not obvious for the user, and just explaining that in the user parameters page will be of great help and will avoid misunderstandings.
