formatLang will not format string date like 2009-01-01 even if date=True

If you agree I will propose a cleaning of this version ASAP

Hello Nicolas,

I disagree here. The formatLang option clearly says that it should be a date or datetiem object if you want it to be formatted.

Example : formatLang(invoice.date_invoice,date=True).

If the string is passed instead of an object ,the string will be returned.

However, you are welcomed for your suggestions. It would be helpful for us if that changes proopsed by you are better than the existing one.

Feel free to post them. We appreciate your interest.

Thank you.

Hello

Ok I understand, but a little docstring in the function may be useful ;).
So if I understand what you said that mean there are errors in some of the account reports. Because

in the Wizard we have :

'date1': {'string':'Start of period', 'type':'date', 'required':True, 'default': lambda *a: time.strftime('%Y-01-01')},
That return a string representation of a date.

and in the RML

 <para style="terp_tblheader_General_Centre">[[ formatLang(data['form']['date1'],date = True) ]]</para>

So if I understand well the date will never be formatted.

Regards

Nicolas

Yes Nicolas,

I met to the error in one report. It actually should not check for string/unicode,should directly use strptime().
It has been fixed by revision 1923 <email address hidden>.
