wp_localize_jquery_ui_datepicker() bug

[jjmpsp]

jQuery UI datepicker widget plugin customisation script has bugs.

To reproduce the bug, simply add a datepicker to the page and Wordpress will format the datepicker with a US date by default, rather than using the config from core.

$(".date-input").datepicker({ 
    dateFormat: 'yy-dd-mm' 
});

I have fixed the function wp_localize_jquery_ui_datepicker(), please see the following pastebin with the corrected code:

A datepicker within my wordpress theme now shows UK formatted dates since implementing the fix.

Can't say if patch is appropriate, just did it.

@Presskopp When comparing with the Pastebin, the patch doesn't look correct / complete

[Presskopp]

uh, sorry, will check soon

Hmm, all I found was a missing tab!?

@jjmpsp In your Pastebin you're referencing a custom jquery-ui-datepicker-custom.js script. The rest is identical to current WordPress core code. What exactly does your script include that fixes the issue you're experiencing?
