Dates should be localised

Recommended Posts

We run a UK board, so it'd be nice if we had the option for all date acronyms in the boards to follow the European format of DD/MM/YYYY when the board is localised.

I know it's a minor niggle but this happens in quite a few places across the board (example attached from [forum]index.php?app=forums&module=post&section=post&do=new_post)

Just to clarify, you cannot simply change the language string for that field to change how it works - that date has to be parsed on the backend, so it has to be in an expected format. It would require backend changes to honor a DD/MM/YYYY format.

The only areas I know of that this occurs is when posting a new topic, and a few small places in Calendar (which is completely controlled by your locale specified on your language pack, so you can change this for Calendar already by editing your language pack and using en_GB (or similar) instead of en_US). Are there any other places?

RSS for the Calendar. The date for an event is correct, ie: 04 July 2011 01:00, but the date at the end of the RSS entry is 7/4/2011. As we're using RSS to post calendar events to a forum, it's making it impossible for people to know what the correct date is if the person posting the event doesn't enter the event date in their text. This is in 3.1.4 by the way.
