Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Date_eu extends jTabyForms
{
    function Date_eu($name,$params) {
        jTabyForms::initiate($name,$params);
    }

    function prepForDisplay($value){
        if(!empty($value) AND ($value != 0 AND $value != "0000-00-00")){
            $explode = explode('-',$value);
            return date('F j, Y',mktime(0,0,0,$explode[1],$explode[2],$explode[0]));
        }
        else
            return '';
    }
    
    function prepForDB($value){
        $valori=explode("/",$value);
        $date_eu=$valori[2]."-".$valori[1]."-".$valori[0];
        return ($date_eu);
    }

    function getHTML()
    {
        $CI = &get;_instance();
        $CI->codextemplates->css_assets('css-datepicker','ui.datepicker.css');
        $CI->codextemplates->js('js-datepicker','ui.datepicker.eu.js');

        $html = $this->prefix;
        //format the data with eu format
        $valori=explode("-",$this->value);
        $new_date_eu=$valori[2]."/".$valori[1]."/".$valori[0];

        if($this->getMessage($this->name))
            $html .= '<div class="failure">'.$this->getMessage($this->name).'</div>';

        $html .= '
            <label for="'.$this->element_name.'">
                '.$this->label.'
            </label>';
        $html .='
            &lt;input class="text" id="codexdatepicker'.$this-&gt;name.'" type="text" value="'.$new_date_eu.'" name="'.$this->element_name.'" '.$this->getAttributes($this->attributes).'>
        ';
        $js ="$(document).ready(function() {
                $('#codexdatepicker".$this->name."').datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy'});
              });";
        $CI->codextemplates->inlineJS('js-'.$this->name.'-init',$js);
        $html .= $this->suffix;
        
        return $html;
    }
}

can someone rewrite this to work with the jtaby thing instead of codex?
I started at the top, but when I got to $CI->codextemplates-> I didn't know what to put in.

another thing:
the backend seems to be formatting posts either by body or title (the only ones it shows up), I also have id and date fields, why are they not in the sort by list?
update: found where to add id, now I need to change how it sorts it by default, default comes descending order, however I need ascending, how can I achieve that?

thanks
