Setting Correct date format for captive portal calendars
-
So with the new PFsense 2.3.1 you have changed the captive portal to no longer pop up a calendar for date picking of expiry dates. That by itself is pretty annoying but i accept you want to cater to people with phones more sigh.
So now that there is no calendar, i find the american date format confusing. How do I change to a normal ISO date format of yyyy-mm-dd or dd-mm-yyyy ?
It keeps bitching about my dates because it uses mm/dd/yyyy which is the stupidest date format ever invented when it comes to computers.
if there any way to change the date format in pfsense to be a proper one?

There is no such thing as captive portal calendars, what are you referring to?
-
I guess he refers to the Local User Manager expire date setting.
-
yes sorry thats right. i just use user manager to create captive portal users so much that i forgot it had other uses!
-
The calendar date picker is still there, click the down arrow at the right of that box.
Agree using the mm/dd/yyyy format isn't the best. I'd rather have YYYYmmdd, generally the standard we follow elsewhere. Not a priority at the moment but might change that.
-
This may be the case of a bug, or something. I do not see any down arrow (see attached image)
Oh well i do see it in chrome, but not firefox which is what i use. The box is there in chrome.
I tried IE and the whole interface is an unusable mess in IE, but that doesnt really matter for me.
 -
If IE's showing a mess, you need to disable compatibility mode in IE.
Confirmed it doesn't work in Firefox and Safari at least.
