How about set_locale ? (date/timeformat in other language)

[MedMan]

In SE 1.1.0 the date/time format is now no longer in DATE but in STRFTIME format.
As mentioned on www.php.net, this enables you to display e.g. months in other languages than englsih, using a set_locale code.


But HOW do you implement this set_locale stuff in YaBB ? Which file(s) should be modfied and what syntax should be used. anyone familiar with this ?

I believe it is set in english.lng

[MedMan]

No, just like the previous version, despite that the arrays in the .lng files are translated (in my case into ducth in dutch.lng), the date still appears in January instead of Januari (which is dutch).

How do you "call"/select the array in the .lng file in this timeformat?

Just modified Settings.php (about rule 97) like this:

$profilebutton = 1;   # 1 to show view profile button under post, or 0 for blank
setlocale ("LC_TIME", "nl_NL");
$timeformatstring = "%d-%B-%Y %R";   # Select your preferred output Format of Time and Date

inserted the bold text and he voila I got my JanuarI

Changed some formats and got stuck in the old JanuarY again ;-(

Hi MedMan,

you did ask the same question in the german language forum, and got your answer there.

There is no need to modify the sources to get foreign language weekdays or month names.

And please do not make double posts.
