使用 datetimepicker 插件格式化日期

Question

I am using the datetimepicker option ( http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/#basic_examples ).

$('#basic_example_3').datetimepicker({
    timeFormat: "hh:mm tt"
});

If the user selects no hours or minutes (ie 12/11/2014 12:00 am), I would don't wish to display the time, but just display 12/11/2014. I realize I could use the onClose , and use JavaScript to manually trim the time, but am asking whether there is a better way to do so using the plugin.

Also, I will be sending the datetime to the server, and would like it in DATETIME format (ie 2014-12-11 18:30:00). I could parse it serverside, however, am asking whether there is aa better way to do so using the plugin.

Not a very elegant solution, but it works. Ideally, moment() wouldn't be used, but some embedded datetimepicker method. I tried to do so, but couldn't seem to access hours and minutes.

$('#basic_example_3').datetimepicker({
    stepMinute: 5,
    timeFormat: "hh:mm tt",
    onClose: function(dateText, inst){
        var datetime = moment(dateText, 'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a').format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'); //  12/11/2014 12:00 am => 2014-12-11 18:30:00
        dateText = dateText.replace(/12:00 am$/, '');   //Get rid of minutes if midnight
        $(this).val(dateText);
        $.post('ajax.php',{datetime:datetime},function(json) {
            //display errors if necessary
            }
        );
}});
