I’m struggling with submitting dates from a Safecracker form and could use some help/advice.
I have a custom field called {start_date} which I have no problem displaying the contents of in my update form. However, it’s displayed in the standard format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm PM which can’t be used because it’s not user friendly. How do I format the date to be user friendly in the update form but then have it revert back to the correct format so when the form is submitted I don’t get an error?
I found the free plugin Nice Date but it only solves the problem of formatting the output. When I submit the form I get a “The date you submitted is not valid.” error.
This seems like it should be simple, what am I missing?
Thanks
