[FLOW3-general] DateTime format in my view

[Sergio]

Hi John,

I think you misunderstood me: I know you can change that format every time
you create an object containing a DateTime property. But I don't mean when
CREATING or UPDATING the object, but showing the form to edit before
updating. I don't know why the format of the date, despite it is saved as
"H:i" in the database, when showing, it is shown again in the default
format for my form input. If I var_dump() my object, the property shows
like this again:

*protected* 'date' =>
    *object*(*DateTime*)[*1933*]
      *public* 'date' => string '2013-01-02 18:18:51' *(length=19)*
      *public* 'timezone_type' => int 3
      *public* 'timezone' => string 'Europe/Berlin' *(length=13)

*

I would like the 'date' would show only "18:18".

Sergio
