Date language in News Module

[jem71]

Ive tried searching for this answer but could only find unanswered queries.

Does anyone know where/how I can change the month language in the News Module. Currently news items are displayed with English Months - I need to change that but I just cant find where.....anyone????

thanks

It depends on your server's settings. The PHP-command get's the day-description directly from the server settings.

You should use the numbered month or you have to write a little tag yourself (I can help you, if you want to)

By default, CMSMS uses the server's default. But, you can force it to use another language default for date function by specifing a Locale in the config.php file.

For instance, for French :

Code: Select all

#------------------------
#Locale/Encoding Settings
#------------------------

#Locale to use for various default date handling functions, etc.  Leaving
#this blank will use the server's default.  This might not be good if the
#site is hosted in a different country than it's intended audience.
$config['locale'] = 'French';

Or, create a User Defined Tag with

Code: Select all

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'french');

inside. Call it SetLocale and add it on top of templates where you want the language settings modified :

Code: Select all

{SetLocal}

Hmm, are you sure? Shouldn't it be something link this?

$config['locale'] = 'fr_FR';
