date/time localization

Permalink
I wonder if its possible to return local date/time formats (german in my case) with the getCollectionDatePublic() method.

I need them as example for the page-list block for news entries on a website.

So the returned date months and days should be in german language. (ex. "Juli" instead of "July")

I am quite new to PHP OOP, but if I am not wrong it should be possible to modifier the getCollectionDatePublic() function with "strftime()" and the general concrete5 localization?!

Maybe the calendar add-on would be "fixed" with this as well?

Maybe you guys can help me out...

cheers

I'm currently stuck with this, as well.
Any ideas, or is there already a common solution for that?

Hi everybody,
I've seen this question in other threads as well. But no answer so far.

I'm struggling with the same issue. I need to display date/time of a rss-feed in dutch.

So some php added to a custom template for the rss-displayer block would be enough. Unfortunatly I'm a newby to php.

Can anyone give a hint?

Thanx in advance.

For the date/time attribute I used the following method. Haven't had a look at the RSS but maybe its an idea?

<?php $timestamp = strtotime($c->getCollectionAttributeValue('opgeleverd'));
$formattedDate = date('j F, Y',$timestamp);
// Vertaald de naam van de maand naar Nederlands.
$formattedDate = str_replace("January", "Januari", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("February", "Februari", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("March", "Maart", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("April", "April", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("May", "Mei", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("June", "Juni", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("July", "Juli", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("August", "Augustus", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("September", "September", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("October", "Oktober", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("November", "November", $formattedDate);
$formattedDate = str_replace("December", "December", $formattedDate);

Put this in your template to get the date in localized format:
$date = $cobj->getCollectionDatePublic("U");
setlocale(LC_TIME, LOCALE);
echo strftime('%x',$date);

See the strftime docs for more options:http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php...

EDIT: Just realized that the parameter "U" was missing and added it.
