Cool! I hope to be able to contribute again at the end of the year, but I'll
try to test the merge in the mean time.

We're just talking about the format, not the actual date, so there's no
timezone information. For example, I might put in my preferences a format of
%d/%m/%y, but the Datepicker is looking for something like dd/mm/yy. I
realized that we use date_format in a whole bunch of places, so the only
realistic option is to translate on the fly. My latest jQuery branch commits
include this translation, so I think we can move forward on merging to
trunk.

Does the conversion take the users timezone into account? In that case we
could convert to UTC in the db and feed it into the right timezone and
format into the new datepicker?

Hey Tracks community,

I'm finally ready to merge my jQuery brach
<http://github.com/epall/tracks/tree/jquery>  back into the mainline Tracks
trunk, but I have one little issue. Our old datepicker used the strftime()
standard format with percents and stuff. jQuery UI's Datepicker, well,
doesn't <http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/formatDate> . How should we
deal with the switch? Should I write a simple migration that just transforms
month, day, and year symbols? I'm concerned that I won't get it quite right
and I'll break somebody's Tracks instance. Do we leave the old format and
translate on the fly? That seems like the worst of both worlds to me. Do we
just reset everybody's format and put something in the changelog telling
people to update their date formats? What do you think would be the best way
to handle the transition to the jQuery UI Datepicker's date format string?

 

-Eric
