If i have a calender field with no value to start withso it uses null, so 0000-00-00 (%Y-%m-%d).
But as i want to have my date to use a %d-%m-%Y format, if i want to save the form without entering a value for the date, it gives me an incorrect value.
Two stupid solutions are to ask the user to clear the calendar field prior to saving, and the other one is to kill the validator.
How could i state that the null value for a %d-%m-%Y formatted date field should be 00-00-0000 ?
Thanks,

looking at /administrator/components/my_component/tables/my_table.php, i see :
if ($XXX === null)
{
JError::raiseWarning(2011, JText::sprintf("XXXX_VALIDATOR_THIS_DATE_DOESN_T_EXISTS_IN_THE_CALENDAR", JText::_("XXX_FIELD_XXX")));

$valid = false;
So i guess that's where it happens... Now let's see what i can do about it...

Really great Joomla tool Cook is a great piece of kit for creating Joomla components. It uses a drag-n-drop interface to build tables and fully featured pages. You can test your component in a sandbox before downloading it packaged up ready to install. The developer is responsive on the support forum.
