Time, date and language

gianpiero · Post by **gianpiero** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:06 pm

Hi

in my site the Default language for the frontend it set ITALIANO (Italian)
My server is in ITALY
CMSMS is 1.9.4.3 fresh installation

In my config.php are defined:

$config['timezone'] = 'Europe/Rome';
$config['locale'] = 'it_IT ';

In my ACP "CMS Install Information" most of settings are collected BUT "locale" is empty
Why ?

Code: Select all

    default_upload_permission: 664
    url_rewriting: mod_rewrite
    page_extension: .html
    query_var: page
    image_manipulation_prog: GD
    auto_alias_content: true
    locale: 
    default_encoding:utf-8
    admin_encoding: utf-8
    set_names: true

Question: I am not able to use time and data in Italian Language on the front end
Yes, is possible, but only with numbers not with letters
I need December, November .... Sunday, Monday .... but in Italian language

I have a site on the same hosting server, where I tested a fresh 1.10.1 installation,
and time and dates works fine with Italian. I don't know : upgrading is really a solution ?
or the wrong feature will be retained... ?

thanks for any
Gianpiero

Hi,

Try using just "it" instead of "it_IT".

I am not able to use time and data in Italian Language on the front end

Some more details needed; what do you mean by "use"?

Here is the documentation on Smarty date / time formatting: http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/languag ... ate.format

Hi, thanks for your reply

I realized that
$config['locale'] = 'it_IT ';
was commented into my config.php. $:-\$

So things are going better but not completely:

at the moment the date appears correctly in frontend, only about news module, eg. "03 Maggio, 2011" ( that is italian version of "03 May, 2011")

BUT when I put a tag into my pages, eg.

Code: Select all

{recently_updated dateformat='D M j G:i:s T Y'}

abbreviated month name and days are in English language

bye

Look in your template header. The locale may be set there in HTML. It is set in the default CMSMS templates I have used.

The setting in the config file is the default one but this may be changed even on a page by page basis, for example for multilanguage sites.

PS The preferred function is now cms_date_format, ie

Code: Select all

{recently_updated|cms_date_format:'<formatstring>'}

this is my header ( a portion)

Code: Select all

{process_pagedata}
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="it" lang="it">
{* Change lang="en" to the language of your site *}
........

I made a test with your string : no output

I went to a conclusion, comparing 2 CMSMS tags:
in my pages, this work (srftime) in locale language

Code: Select all

{created_date format="%A %d-%b-%y %T"}

this doesn't work (php -date- format) in locale language

Code: Select all

{recently_updated dateformat='D M j G:i:s T Y'}

If I'm wrong any comment will be appreciate

First, all date formatting needs the %, second, you may want to change the dateformat to format...

Thank you for the reply!

I'm following, or I think to do this, the guide into Help of
CMSMS at the tag "recently_updated"

Help for the recently_updated tag
What does this do?

Outputs a list of recently updated pages.
How do I use it?

Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {recently_updated}
What parameters does it take?

(optional) number='10' - Number of updated pages to show.

Example: {recently_updated number='15'}

(optional) leadin='Last changed' - Text to show left of the modified date.

Example: {recently_updated leadin='Last Changed'}

(optional) showtitle='true' - Shows the titleattribute if it exists as well (true|false).

Example: {recently_updated showtitle='true'}

(optional) css_class='some_name' - Warp a div tag with this class around the list.

Example: {recently_updated css_class='some_name'}

(optional) dateformat='d.m.y h:m' - default is d.m.y h:m , use the format you whish (php -date- format)

Example: {recently_updated dateformat='D M j G:i:s T Y'}

anyway I think that I'have tested/sorted o lot of different string to get italian output
