[Typo3] BE Date Input Format (US Date)

[John Romano]

This mod, so far, appears to be working for me; your mileage may vary.

I did not find any specific How-To to change the BE date input from 
d-m-y to m-d-y.


Here's the diff between my modded file and the original.

/typo3_src-3.8.0/t3lib/jsfunc.evalfield.js


Lines 347 and 350 swap the day and month array index.

Line 347
Original:
var month = 
(values.values[2])?this.parseInt(values.values[2]):today.getMonth()+1;
New:
var month = 
(values.values[1])?this.parseInt(values.values[1]):today.getMonth()+1;

Line 350
Original:
var day = 
(values.values[2])?this.parseInt(values.values[2]):today.getDate();
New:
var day = 
(values.values[1])?this.parseInt(values.values[1]):today.getDate();

Line 353 does a check to make sure date entered is not epoc/zero.
Line 353:

Original:
if (''+day+'-'+month+'-'+year == "1-1-1970")    {
New
if (''+month+'-'+day+'-'+year == "1-1-1970")    {


Line 418 formats the output of the date.
Line 418:
Original
theString = 
theTime.getDate()+'-'+(theTime.getMonth()+1)+'-'+this.getYear(theTime);

New
theString = 
(theTime.getMonth()+1)+'-'+theTime.getDate()+'-'+this.getYear(theTime);
