Hi,
in edit profile you can't change format, this is format required to parse correctly date. The date format is customizable only on profile/user list pages

Im afraid I know my client wont accept this date not being in the same format as the rest of the website (26-Jul-2016).

Could you please possibly point me in the right direction, or advice how I can achieve this, many thanks in advance!

Hi,
sorry this is not possible with a simple way, you can change format with language override the constant is COM_JSN_DATE_INPUT_FORMAT (now value is yyyy-mm-dd)
BUT:
1. You can't user format like PHP because this is used for javascript, you can change only the order of yyyy, mm, dd
2. You need to test it, because change the order can not works, for example
date like 7 june 2016 will be
yyyy-mm-dd -> 2016-06-07 -> Joomla store correct value
yyyy-dd-mm -> 2016-07-06 -> Joomla store wrong value (6 July 2016)

so you need add some code to convert date into SQL like format.

Hi,
you have a javascript error, try to replace this:

var element = $('input[name=jform[preferred_moving_date]]');

with this

var element = $('input[name="jform[preferred_moving_date]"]');

remove all your previous code and try with this:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var months = ['Jan','Feb','May','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var element = jQuery('#jform_preferred_moving_date');

element.on('change', function(e) {

var date_parts = jQuery(this).val().split('-');
var month_index = Number(date_parts[1]) - 1;
var date_new = date_parts[0] + '-' + months[month_index] + '-' + date_parts[2];
jQuery(this).val(date_new);
});
});

...although unfortunetly Ive just spotted that on the 'Edit Profile' page, when the page loads, the date is in the old format, its not until a new date is selected with the calendar, that the date value changes to the correct format.

Im going to come back to it in the morning now, but if a fix jumps at you and you have the time to pop it in a post, id really appreciate it, once again many thanks!!!

Hi,
now you change format when the value is changed, you can add something that change this also when site is ready, so try use function like this:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var months = ['Jan','Feb','May','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var element = jQuery('#jform_preferred_moving_date');

/* ADD THIS */
var date_parts = element.val().split('-');
var month_index = Number(date_parts[1]) - 1;
var date_new = date_parts[0] + '-' + months[month_index] + '-' + date_parts[2];
element.val(date_new);
/* --- --- */

element.on('change', function(e) {

var date_parts = jQuery(this).val().split('-');
var month_index = Number(date_parts[1]) - 1;
var date_new = date_parts[0] + '-' + months[month_index] + '-' + date_parts[2];
jQuery(this).val(date_new);
});
});
