Forum OpenACS Q&A: Date Format

Collapse
Posted by Christof Spitz on
although I am not at all an expert, I managed to set up a basic OpenACS-website with 4.6.1 as an online-community for the Tibetan Centre in Hamburg (though their main website is still static). So far thanks to all people who made this wonderful software available!

Now the problem is language. Although it was easy to translate the public *.adps into German, I don't know how to display dates in the German style "nDay. cMonth nYear" (like "5. Mai 2003"). In this forum I read about changing util_AnsiDatetoPrettyDate to return $trimmed_day. $pretty_month $year (with the correct German names for the months), but nothing seems to happen. Maybe this function is not used?

Up to now, we use the edit-this-page and bboard packages. Any hint where I should go on?

Christof, Congrats on getting your new site up!

I can't really answer all your questions, but I do know that internationalization is set for the next release of OpenACS: 5.0.

Perhaps someone else can help out with your other questions.
