TOPIC: Date format not changing

Date format not changing 1 year, 4 months ago #1

Morning

I have the following code:

SCPropertyDefinition *dueDatePropertyDef = [taskDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"dueDate"];
dueDatePropertyDef.title = @"Review Date";

Which only gives me the day and time, whereas I want the day, month and year.

In a previous statement, I had used:

[((SCDateCell *)customCell).dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, yyyy"];

Obviously I cannot use customCell in this instance, but am strugglingas to what it should be changed to.

Having said that - I am not sure that the statement above is the right statement etiher.

Is this the right type of statement to use to get what I am looking for ?

Iain

Hi Iain,

Since this time the date cell is automatically generated via your class definition, you'll have to change its properties using the willConfigureCell delegate method:

 
- (void)tableViewModel:(SCTableViewModel *)tableViewModel
  willConfigureCell:(SCTableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  if([cell isKindOfClass:[SCDateCell class]])
  {
    SCDateCell *dateCell = (SCDateCell *)cell;
    [dateCell.dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, yyyy"];
  }
}

Hi Tarek Thanks for pointing that out. I have added the code in, it builds ok, but the date format in the picker is in the same format. Was there something else I needed to change ? Iain	ihmunro OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 135 Karma: 0

Is the date cell in the main model, or is it in a detail model?	tarekskr OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2402 Karma: 72

Hi Tarek It is the iPad example for the tasks, so to answer your question, it is in the detail model. Iain	ihmunro OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 135 Karma: 0

Hi Iain, The most straight forward way to go for you is to place the "willConfigureCell" method code above inside DetailViewController.m (again please don't forget to have DetailViewController conform to the SCTableViewModelDelegate protocol).	tarekskr OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2402 Karma: 72
