[FLOW3-general] DateTime format in my view

[John Small]

Hi,

theres a Viewhelper for that:

{some.date -> f:format.date(format:'d.m.Y H:i')}

but then you need to have a proper method in the controller who is able 
to handle that format of the date to pass it to the model,
because the model expects "2012-12-28 12:33:00"

like this

public function initializeCreateAction() {

     $this->addFlashMessage('here: initializeCreateAction');
     // set Format for property begin
     $this->arguments['newEvent']
         ->getPropertyMappingConfiguration()
         ->forProperty('begin')
->setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\FLOW3\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter', 

\TYPO3\FLOW3\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT, 

               '!d.m.Y H:i');
}


same for an update method
