Date and time (CMS_INPUT_DATE)

This input element is provided for entering the date and/or time.

The format in which the selected date is applied to the input element depends, by default, on the language that ContentCreator was started in (interface language). For the language “EN” (English) for example, the following format is used:

M/d/yy h.mm a

For instance, this would be:

5/28/14 1:59 PM

However, this format can be changed by the template developer.

The format for how the date/time information is output on the website is also specified by the template developer.
