Hello everyone,

I would like to change the date format in Easysocial and especially in the events and groups. Today, the format is as follows : 19th Sep, 2014 0:00 and I would like a standard French format like this: 19 septembre 2014 - 00h00
Most of these formats are utilizing Joomla's date format. They are located in /language/en-GB/en-GB.ini . Most of them uses these date strings,

DATE_FORMAT_LC="l, d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC1="l, d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC2="l, d F Y H:i"
DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC4="Y-m-d"
DATE_FORMAT_JS1="y-m-d"

Hi,

Some additional strings that you need to look out for are:

COM_EASYSOCIAL_DATE_* in both /administrator/langauge/en-GB/en-GB.com_easysocial.ini and /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easysocial.ini

Thank you for your answers. I removed the commas (which does not exist in French ) but otherwise I do not find how to apply the correct date format. What's strange is that in Easysocial (see screenshot) the date format is correct. It is only in the events and groups that the format is incorrect .

Hi,

I saw your last post , but I do not know what to modify in these files ? Should I change the values ​​related to " COM_EASYSOCIAL_DATE " ?
If so, what should I change for good with dates? You may be a link to the correct values ​​?

Hi,

The format is actually similar to Joomla's default DATE_FORMAT_*. They are all following PHP's date format, in which you can refer at: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
