Magento Admin Form Time Not Saving – How to Fix

datemagento-1.8timezone

I have created a field in custom admin form with following code

$fieldset->addField('post_date', 'date', array(
        'label' => Mage::helper('sprung_blog')->__('Date'),
        'name'  => 'post_date',
        'required'  => true,
        'class' => 'required-entry',
        'image' => $this->getSkinUrl('images/grid-cal.gif'),
        'format'  => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getDateFormat(Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_SHORT),
    ));

But its only saving the date i have selected.How can i get the time too.

In my saveAction i have following too

$data = $this->_filterDates($data, array('post_date'));

I have tried by changing it to 

$fieldset->addField('post_date', 'date', array(
        'label' => Mage::helper('sprung_blog')->__('Date'),
        'name'  => 'post_date',
        'required'  => true,
        'class' => 'required-entry',
        'image' => $this->getSkinUrl('images/grid-cal.gif'),
        'time' => true,
        'format'  => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getDateTimeFormat(Mage_Core_Model_Locale::FORMAT_TYPE_SHORT),
    ));

Now i can see time in field.But in controller it comes as [post_date] => 2014-07-24

You have to run $productData = $this->_filterDates($productData, $dateFields); for dates and _filterDateTime for datetime values on them. To make a mysql-readable format out of them, before saving
