Date format

Hi Guys
Sorry if this has been asked before but can't find it.
I herd when the latest C5 build came out we would be able to change the date format for European countries to d.m.y. is this the case? If so where can I find the option?
Thanks!

anyone?
change the date for what?
Soem add-on creators say that the dates they used are pulled from the core system so to change to d-m-y it will need to change in the core. I remember someone saying when the later C5 was released there would be a feature to change the date format.
If this is the case where is it?
I have tried codes etc in the config file but can't seem to get it to work.

I don't know, but couldn't you look into those blocks and see where they're calling their date from? blogga is an example that uses dates, see where its calling to and then go there. wouldn't that work?
I have managed to change the date on some add-ons like simple blog etc.
Extended form add-on for example does not seem to allow you to change this in its code, but runs off the core.

but extended form must have code that calls the date from the core, right? wouldn't that show you where it is in the core?
yeah... i think i tried to change it at one point but it screwed with everything.
just thought there might be an option for this now.
ahh well.

OK placing:
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY', 'd-m-Y');
Into the config file seems to work. When I look at the properties of a page the date is in european format. Just need to test this with some add-ons etc.
This did not work for me in previous C5 versions but seems to in the latest. Nice one!

can you please help?
thanks
can you please help?
thanks
you need to contact the extended for developer for that,
This is a good suggestion but doesn't work in Blogga because it has hard-coded formats. I shall contact the Blogga developer with suggested patches to make it use the date formats as suggested above.
In the meantime, you need to edit
blogga/blocks/block_posts/view.php line 54
blogga/page_types/blogga_page.php line 41
and in both of them change the literal string 'F j, Y' to use the constant DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY instead.

Appears to be working fine with C5's own Calendar add on. Thanks guys.
Hi, does anyone have a clue to why when I swap F d, Y to d F, Y to match the UK date format it wipes out already added news items in Pronews? Swap it back and the news reappears, asked the question on the Pronews support section but as yet have not heard back.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Hi oakleafg,
Off the top of my head, it seems like another part of the add-on must be relying on that date format to display events. Try searching for other references to the date format and see if you can easily alter what the broken part is asking for.
I've also reached out to the developer (ChadStrat) and asked him to check out your thread in Questions & Discussion. He's very active on the concrete5 forums, so I expect that you'll hear back from him soon.

You can now use a Constant in you config/site.php
