Leogui2k3 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hello. I have a question about changing the date format on the profile on my birthday. Currently, only there is a date format: YYYY-MM-DD and I would like it to look the other way around: DD-MM-YYYY. How can this be done, gentlemen and ladies?

Jim M Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Is this a custom profile field which you added or are you referring to the default birthday field in our software? If the latter, this should conform to your locale which is being used in your language pack. For instance, I am using English USA so my date form is MM DD, YYYY.

Leogui2k3 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 I refer to the default profile field but I noticed that if I create a custom profile field, the date is also in this format: YYYY-MM-DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you are using custom formatting, this will not be and you will need to look at template syntax to change the formatting then. I'm afraid, customizations such as custom formatting of a field is outside our scope of support. If you're using default formatting, you will want to check the locale of the language you're using.

This is not the language pack in our software but rather the locale which is a language file on your server which controls date, number, etc... formats. The locale is a setting in ACP -> Customization -> Languages -> edit language -> Locale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leogui2k3 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Copy setting value - what is that? I just see that in my language, after changing the location from Poland to England, the date changes from YYYY-MM-DD to DD/MM/YYYY Will the above-mentioned Copy setting value change solve this problem and not change my language to English?

I am not quite sure what you mean by "Copy setting value" but the locale does not control what language various elements are in our software, it only controls dates, numbers, etc... formatting.

I'm sorry but that is not what we're instructing you to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yes, indeed some of the editor items may change. If they are changing to a different language to the locale that is set, that would likely be an issue with the locale on the server. Could I please confirm you are referring to locale, when you say location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leogui2k3 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 with a request for help, I contacted the hosting on which my forum stands. I got this message from them: Quote Good evening, we are using FreeBSD and this is the order taken from FreeBSD. In our case, the result on FreeBSD is returned in the genitive, on Linux it is not. You can ask for the patch from IPS (if I remember correctly they offered it) or you can edit files to change display order and variant (change to% OB from% B). Files (assuming they have not changed in 3 years): applications / calendar / sources / Date / Date.php applications / core / data / theme.xml system / Lang / Lang.php Could FreeBSD have any influence on this? My locale is set to Polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Ashbrook Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I can confirm on my own site, that if I set my locale to match yours, then the date is formatted correctly: The formatting of the date will always be controlled by the locales installed on the server, and not by the software itself. If you upload this test script and run it in your browser, does it show correctly, or the same as the community does? If it is incorrect, then that means the pl-PL locale on the server is configured incorrectly. datetime.php If it does show correctly, however, let us know and we can look on your community specifically. The format of the date in this script does not take any community settings into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
