How can we use more than one date formate using rich:calendar

[sunilchaurha]

Hi All,

We have some requirement like we want to support more than one date formate in rich calender.

We are using richfaces 3.3.3.Final version. and we are reading formate for date from a property file like  

datePattern="#{messages['my.calendar.date.format']}".

.

Here we want to support following formates

dd.mm.yyyy

ddmmyyyy

d.m.yyyy

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sunil,

use a condition inside datePattern attribute :

datePattern="#{yourBean.condition ? messages['my.calendar.date.format1']:messages['my.calendar.date.format2'] }"

regards.

Hi Mr. Ghosh,

Your suggestion is great but here my requirement is different.

Here i will have enableManualInput="true" and user can enter date in the given formate without selecting date from the calendar popup.

ok, the previous post is solving this problem too, when manualInput is true, it will validate the date field according to your datePattern attribute.

Hi,

I have created a solution for such requirement.

I have written a javascript which validates the required patterns and if user enters an invalid date then warns to user back before apply request phase itself.

Please refer to my new post.

I have raised the same issue in Jira, so the same can we available in the later version of richfaces.
