---------------------------------

- Download your language and add on your server: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/master/ui/i18n

- In newthread template, after {$headerinclude} and <script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->asset_url}/jscripts/post.js?ver=1800"></script> add:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script src="your-link-to script-datepicker-XX.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function() { jQuery("#datepicker").datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd" }).val() $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional[YOUR-LANGUAGE-EG-IT]); }); </script>

- Settings in Custom Thread Fields for this date input field:

Input filed type: textbox
Text Mask Filter: Custom (regex) and write this: ^((?:19|20)\d\d)/(0?[1-9]|1[012])/(0?[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])$
Input Formatter: <?=strtotime({VALUE})?>
Input Field HTML: yes and write this:

Code:

<input type="text" class="textbox"{NAME_PROP}{MAXLEN_PROP}{WIDTH_PROP_SIZE}{TABINDEX_PROP}{REQUIRED_PROP} value="{VALUE}" id="datepicker" />

---

Display Format: <?=date('d-m-Y', {VALUE})?>
