International Date Formats - AutoSearch dialog in WebTier

rbuser

Hi Nard

I see from other posts that you have made some 'fixes' available for this to
other customers. Is there any standard way to solve this? I need
dd/mm/yyyy (or sometimes dd/mmm/yyyy) on most clients (in the UK), and then
mm/dd/yyyy on some others (in the US).

Hoping you can help

Regards

Stuart

This topic is discussed a few threads up see 'Javascript ISAPI web tier demo
problem with dates'.

There are two RBServer units that contain javascript that you will have to
modify. There is a script for Validation and a script for Marshalling (i.e.
converting the date entered by the user into a standard dated that can be
processed by the WebTier.)

Please send a request to support@digital-metaphors.com and we can send you
the units that must be modified.

1. TrsWebJavaScriptSearchValidation

This class contains methods that generate Javascript functions that validate
search parameter values entered by users. The Javascript code runs on the
web browser. If you run your web tier and view a search form in your web
browser, you can see the Javascript functions that are generated.

These are relevant to date and datetime data types.

- IsDateFunction
- IsDateTimeFunction


2. TrsWebJavaScriptSearchMarshalling

This class contains methods that generate Javascript functions that convert
the search parameter value entered by the user to a string format that is
sent to Delphi WebTier. In other words a Javascript Date and a Delphi Date
are not the same. So you need to convert the Javascript date to a string and
then have Delphi code to take that string and convert to a TDateTime

This is the relevant method

- ConvertDateTimeFunction


3. TrsWebSearchFieldsPopulator

Contains methods that convert the search parameter values to/from the
WebForm/Javascript values.

These are the relevant methods

- UnMarshallValue
- MarshalledStringToDateTime

Hi,

The topic below is now over 4 years old, but the MM/DD/YYYY issue still
remains in RB Server 10.07. Are there any plans to sort this out in a
standard release or is it still down to individuals needing to make changes
to the Javascript in .pas files?

Thanks,
Jason.

Plans are for RB 11 to include improved date format handling for the
WebTier.
