webform_datetime_24h

Adds language-aware 24-hour time formatting to Webform time and datetime elements, enhancing consistency on multilingual Drupal forms. Complies to language requirements in various bilingual and multilingual requirements.

Features

Webform Datetime 24h is a lightweight utility module for Drupal that enforces 24-hour time formatting on webform_time, time, and datetime elements rendered by Webform. It works by altering Webform submission forms based on the current interface language, allowing you to configure per-language enforcement of 24-hour time display. This is especially useful for multilingual sites where 12-hour formats (AM/PM) are inappropriate.

The module integrates cleanly with Webform and webform_jqueryui_datepicker to ensure time inputs are localized in a way that respects user expectations. Ideal for global or bilingual deployments, it requires no changes to individual Webform elements—just install, enable, and configure per language.

Post-Installation

Once installed, Webform Datetime 24h adds a configuration screen that allows you to enable 24-hour time formatting per language. There are no new content types, no fields to manage, and no manual changes needed to your Webforms.

Configuration Steps:

1. Go to Configuration → User Interface → Webform 24h Time Format Or visit: /admin/config/user-interface/webform-datetime-24h
2. You'll see a list of all languages enabled on your site.
3. For each language, check the box to enable 24-hour time formatting in Webforms.
4. Save the configuration.

What Happens Next:

• The module automatically scans Webform submission forms for any webform_time, datetime, or time elements.
• If the current page language matches one you've enabled in settings, the module:
• Sets the time format to HH:mm (24-hour).
• Disables AM/PM toggles.
• Integrates with webform_jqueryui_datepicker if installed, ensuring consistency across browsers.

Additional Requirements

• Webform
• jquery_ui_datepicker
• webform_jqueryui_datepicker (included as a sub module in the webform module)
