: Date function in other languages.
: aviva April 23, 2009, 08:30:13 AM
There have been several questions on how to change the date on top to a different language.
I did it as follows:
Replace <?php echo date("l");?>, <?php echo date("F j, Y");?>
in the index.php
With <?php echo JHTML::_('date', 'now', JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC')) ?>

It's using the Joomla DATE_FORMAT_LC as defined in the language ini file, ie pl-PL.ini, nl-NL.ini, fr-FR.ini, en-GB.ini, en-US.ini etc.

This is my first post so I though to keep it positive  ;).
Hint for the Shape5 team: why not make this standard? It will work for any language and avoid many questions and frustrations  8).

Thanks for the tip!  We've updated the downloads to reflect this change.

Seems it hasn't been implemented yet - I had this tip working on Joomla 1.7.3 - thanks :-)
