Non U.S. date format

Permalink
Can anyone please tell me how I can set my sites date format to not be mm/dd/yyyy. I want it to be dd/mm/yyyy. Throughout my whole site both backend and frontend.

In 5.7.4 setting the language will also change the date and time output
you can find it in the dashboard/system/basics/multilingual

In addition, you might also need to set the timezone:
/dashboard/system/basics/timezone

Programmers, take a look at the date helper:

use Core;
...
$date = Core::make('date');
$formattedDate = date->formatPrettyDateTime($value, $longDate = false, $withSeconds = false, $timezone = 'user')

There are more functions in 'date'that can be usefull like formatCustom() and formatDateTime()

Yes, it will translate all available text and time/date's on the backend
But you can always switch it back

And, you can also let the user choose it's language at login:
dashboard/system/basics/multilingual
Or even set the language for every user differently:
dashboard/users/search/view/1
