Date Format

[coffeeian]

I wish to change the formatting of the date to reflect the system we are used to in the UK, specifically on the PDF invoice (and also anywhere else).

 

How can this be done???

I have the same problem. How to do this ?

file /classes/Tools.php, about line 252.

On the new 1.1.0.3--

Open >>tools.php, line 292

Change the numbers in the line below within the square brackets.

0=year; 1=month, 2=day

return ($tmpTab[1].'-'.$tmpTab[2].'-'.$tmpTab[0].($full ? $hour : ''));

So, the above will display as: Month, Day, Year. Swap out the numbers to suit your display order if different than above.

Yes, but changing order in
/classes/Tools.php
will affect date format in certain modules only, not in entire site (shop).
For example, it will not effect date format for "Order details".

hi

i have changed the code within classes\Tools.php to the following:

$language = Language::getLanguage(intval($id_lang));
        if ($language AND strtolower($language['iso_code']) == 'fr')
            return ($tmpTab[2].'-'.$tmpTab[1].'-'.$tmpTab[0].($full ? $hour : ''));
        else
            return ($tmpTab[2].'-'.$tmpTab[1].'-'.$tmpTab[0].($full ? $hour : ''));

and it seems my front end display UK date format correctly. however, in the back end, i found 1 page that didnt display UK date and that is when you click the "order" tab to see a list of orders

Did you create any new orders after inserting that new code?

hi TropischBruin,

initially i didn't. however, i've just done it and i can see the UK date format displaying correctly.

what happens when you do an update, will tools.php be overwritten and you have to re-install your file?

btw. If you change the 'fr' in 'uk' and then the first line to the correct settings your problem is also solved.
Visitors from other countries (not UK) will get the else format = correct for the rest of Europe.

$language = Language::getLanguage(intval($id_lang));
        if ($language AND strtolower($language['iso_code']) == 'uk')
            return ($tmpTab[0].'-'.$tmpTab[1].'-'.$tmpTab[1].($full ? $hour : ''));
        else
            return ($tmpTab[2].'-'.$tmpTab[1].'-'.$tmpTab[0].($full ? $hour : ''));

It seems I can't edit Tools.php, I did exactly what was described but keep having this error after clicking PDF Invoice file in Order:

FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF file

I even tried editing the Tools.php just be adding a space in the /** comment area **/ and I still get the same error after replacing the Tool.php in server...

Anybody has encountered and solve this problem ?
