#6958 (Support french date formatting)

#6802 (The Stewards project (Lino Patrols))

by Luc Saffre · in Developers · assigned to Luc Saffre

Résumé

When I enter "13/6/1968" in a birth_date and hit Ctrl+S, Lino says "invalid literal for int() with base 10: '13/8/1668' ".

When I enter "13/6/1968" as the start_date of a calendar entry, Lino gets confused and weird things happen.

French-speaking people want to see dates as dd/mm/yyyy while German/Dutch-speaking people want dd.mm.yyyy.

The "internal" format used by the API doesn't need to be configurable, it should be yyyy-mm-dd.

2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : Sounds good. Will test it ASAP on the stewards site.
2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Sharif Mehedi about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : I kept the core implementation for parsing and formatting date as it is, didn't touch anything on the core and in react I have a new plugin option date_format and it makes the UI display date as given on it, but the ajax works with the older `dd.mm.yy` format implementation. So, this plugin option `...

2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : This ticket will now wait until Quill is in a state where @8lurry can make a break. Because it will also need changes in the react front end.
2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : I pushed another series of code refactoring changes and released them to PyPI, including rstgen, atelier and lino.
2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre in reply to Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : We already have LanguageInfo, which currently is just a namedtuple, but we can rewrite it as a class.
2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) (1 reply) : It's not only about date formatting but also about number formatting. See DecimalFieldElement. Number formatting is less urgent because FR and DE are the same, but it makes sense to care for it as well. We will probably want to move these settings from the Site class to a "LinoLocale" object, which ...
2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : Officially, the only date format supported by JavaScript is a simplified version of ISO-8601: yyyy-mm-dd, although in practice almost all browsers also support yyyy/mm/dd as well. But other than that, you have to write the code yourself or (and this makes much more sense) use a good library. I'd pro...
2 mois, 1 semaine ago by Luc Saffre about #6958 (Support french date formatting) : This innocent request for #6802 (The Stewards project (Lino Patrols)) might cause an internal revolution: the Site.parse_date() method. And User.date_format will maybe go away, the date format rather depends on the language of the front end,
