Hi guys As you have probably noticed, I have been working on implementing support for a more generic calendar in DHIS 2 (to support my ongoing work to have the Nepali calendar supported).
This work is happening in branch https://code.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/localized-calendar (I hope to have it merged soon). What is working: - Calendar and date format can be set in general settings -> calendar - Data entry is updated to show proper local dates, will be converted to iso periods when saved - Add/edit orgUnit opening/closed date is using localized date picker To have this working, I have implemented: Java: - A new Calendar interface with multiple implementations - A new CalendarService which gives you current calendar and current date format JavaScript: - A new Period generator has been implemented which uses the system calendar to generate periods - A new localized date picker have been implemented which uses system generator If you use main.vm to bootstrap your page, you can use these two new global variables: dhis2.period.generator dhis2.period.picker And you can find more information about the API in dhis2.period.js (in commons) What I need from you guys: - If you want to get todays date, please use calendar.today(), and not jdk Calendar / Date since these are not localized - For any kind of date / calendar manipulation, please use calendar again (it has plusDays, plusWeeks etc) - If you use jquery ui date picker, please use the global date picker instead - When saving dates to the database, please convert to iso first (calendar.toIso), and convert to local when getting values out (calendar.fromIso) Jan: for extjs, please have a look at how the extjs date picker can be customized, you should be able to use the generator, but I'm not sure about the date picker.. For 2.16 I think we will stop at input, all outputs will be implemented in 2.17 Please, if you have any questions / bug reports, please write directly and I will have a look -- Morten
