Hi,

I don't understand why my dates save in DB with the format yyyy-mm-dd ?

In Grocery CRUD config i do this :
$config['grocery_crud_date_format] = 'uk-date';


I load a french translation for the datepicker with :
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'


But in my DB i have like that : 2012-09-21

Thanks for the answers.

Because your DB stores the date in that format.

Because I just need the date to display it in this format "dd/mm/YYYY" and I don't understand why a varchar is interpreted like a date.

So I do this in php thanks for the reply.
