Could we have date format as config option in regional settings?

Best regards.

Thanks for the suggestion and screenshots. I'll put this on the feature list for upcoming versions.

What format should the Created By and Last Updated dates be in if this was changed? Currently they are like this:

Actually a field in the Regional Settings where you can cange the date format would be great. In Germany i.e. dates are in this format: d-m-Y

Here is my fix... im not php professional writer.

In editField.php, under showtime DIV (line 196 or so) add this:

<div class="label">Date Format</div>
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="euroStyle" value="0"/>
<input type="checkbox" id="date_eurostyle" name="euroStyle" value="1" <?php checkedIf($field['euroStyle'], '1') ?> />
<label for="date_eurostyle">European style date format (day, month, year)</label>
</div>

This will let you check european style date in cms.

In editField_functions.php
under line 20: $defaultValue['showTime'] = '1';
$defaultValue['euroStyle'] = '1'; // add this one

in line 278, fix date with:
'date' => array('customColumnType', 'order', 'label', 'type', 'isSystemField', 'adminOnly', 'isUnique', 'showTime', 'euroStyle', 'showSeconds', 'use24HourFormat', 'yearRangeStart', 'yearRangeEnd'),

and last.. in edit_functions.php around line 307 make this changes:

if ($fieldSchema['euroStyle']) {
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:day'>$dayOptions</select>\n";
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:mon'>$monthOptions</select>\n";
}
else {
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:mon'>$monthOptions</select>\n";
print " <select name='{$fieldSchema['name']}:day'>$dayOptions</select>\n";
}

I hope this helps. Please, check my code, i fixed without check in deep.

Nice job. :) I'll review this code and put something in the next release (v1.29).

Thanks!
