Hi,

Oh those pesky Americans! Does anyone know whow I can go about changing the MM/DD/YYYY US format to a good old DD/MM/YYYY tea and cake consuming, queen loving, UK date format?

Thanks!

scotch?  Date format where, in the news module?

Hi mate,

Yeah - the one in the news / plus the calendar module

Please read the module help - there's a parameter named dateformat. It should helps ...

Hi in the news module you can pass it

{cms_module module="news" number="5" category="beer" dateformat="%d %b , %Y"}
that would be day month year
or even beter %d %B %Y that would be like 9 June 2006

is the calander the rob@akrabat.com one ? as you may have to edit the templates for that

Thanks guys!

You might also want to consider ISO standard universal date formats e.g. yyyy/mm/dd ? Makes sense on sorting and you can allways include a more readable 16th June 2006?

Just an idea...
