Date format

[snitchy]

Hello to all,

I've been playing around with this excellent shopping cart for a few weeks now and almost have it working exactly how I want it, apart from one small thing.

I'm based in the UK, and so are all my customers, so me being picky I really don't like it that whenever there is a date it's always showing as yyyy/mm/dd. In the UK it's dd/mm/yyyy and I'd really like to be able to change this.

So far I've seen it on the PDF's that are created, and in the 'My Account area', so if someone could point me in the right direction to change this then that would be great

Thanks for your time!

me too!

Also date picking on the Stats pages is in MM-DD-YYYY

Regards
Mark

I haven't found a way to do this using the back office, only by modifying code.

Insert at line 291 of classes/Tools.php:

else if ($language AND strtolower($language['iso_code']) == 'en')
   return ($tmpTab[2].'/'.$tmpTab[1].'/'.$tmpTab[0].($full ? $hour : ''));

You can use else if statements to define the format for multiple languages if required. Just change 'en' to the code of the iso code of the country.

Thanks for that guys, I feel pretty stupid that I didnt manage to find that date thread even though I did a search! :red:

Oh well, all sorted now anyway, thanks again!

Thanks from me too!
I didn't find that in search either

Presumably this means keeping file backups in case of an upgrade?

[cerberus22]

yes make and keep backups just in case. If you do upgrade the modifcations you have done will be deleted.
