They function the same way from a code perspective... it's all code. You will have to see what in your theme is changing the datepicker UI. Probably some setting somewhere. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dates-in-scheduler#post-8868 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:16:49 +0000 kgagne 8868@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl,</p> <p>I tried deactivating all my plugins save Gravity Forms and still experienced this issue.

Something in your WordPress or jQuery setup is telling the jQuery UI datepicker to use that date format. It doesn't do this by default and it's not doing it on our test installs. So something is setting the jQuery UI setting to format the date that way. Does anything else in your theme or possibly another plugin include jQuery UI settings?</p> <p>You may want to try activating the default theme and deactivating all other plugins and see if it still does this. That might help determine if a theme or plugin has a setting somewhere that is telling the jQuery UI datepicker to format the date this way. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dates-in-scheduler#post-8862 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 11:34:29 +0000 kgagne 8862@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl,</p> <p>That's correct.</p> <p>Here's a series of screen shots showing me pulling up the form scheduler (where I've previously, manually inputted the correct dates) then using the calendar to choose August 31st:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gamebits.net/screens/cede5965774b7d7a50a250ee9ee017df.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamebits.net/screens/cede5965774b7d7a50a250ee9ee017df.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.gamebits.net/screens/ca8a4f36811edcfe7a9624fdd77b939b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamebits.net/screens/ca8a4f36811edcfe7a9624fdd77b939b.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.gamebits.net/screens/5ca8f93ae738a3ba19f2c3e757dac291.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamebits.net/screens/5ca8f93ae738a3ba19f2c3e757dac291.jpg</a></p> <p>As I live in the USA, I've set WordPress's general settings to use a date format of "M j, Y" (Aug 31, 2010), if that matters.</p> <p>-Ken </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dates-in-scheduler#post-8861 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 11:27:46 +0000 Carl Hancock 8861@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This isn't happening in our tests. This sounds like a localization issue with some sort of setting on your site. It shouldn't be doing this. So on your site when you schedule a form it's displaying the date as DD/MM/YYYY in the Start/End Date after selecting a date using the date picker? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dates-in-scheduler#post-8845 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 21:42:42 +0000 kgagne 8845@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using Gravity Forms 1.3.13.1. When scheduling a form to run certain dates, using the calendar pop-up to select August 31 results in the Start Date/Time field being populated by 31/08/10. This is standard format in some parts of the world, but not the USA, where it should be 08/31/10. Using the former format does not result in the form being closed until the end of the month, which suggests the form itself is expecting US format as well.</p> <p>Is the calendar popup backward, or am I? </p>
