[FLOW3-general] DateTime and FLUID-Form

[Ferdinand Kuhl]

Yeah, we are nailing it down:

Try it like this:

        /**
         * Initialize the create action
         *
         * @return void
         */
        public function initializeCreateAction() {
                $this->arguments['newEvent']->
                     getPropertyMappingConfiguration()
                     ->forProperty('NAMEOFYOURDATETIMEPROPERTY') // this 
line can be skipped in order to specify the format for all properties
                     -
>setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\FLOW3\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter',
                     \TYPO3\FLOW3\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT, 
'd.m.Y'');
        }
