#390 Change to DD/MM/YYYY Date Format

[Anonymous]

Dear Support,

I would like to change the date from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY. Can you please let me know how to do that? I changed the language on Firefox, Chrome. And they are working fine but I don’t think that all users can do that on their laptop. I need to modify this in MRBS.
Thank you.

Set the following in your config file:

$disable_automatic_language_changing = 1;
$default_language_tokens = "en-GB";

Thansk you Campbell Morrison This did the trick for me.

Does he/she not need to override locale? If so, it will depend on the OS the server runs on:

Linux:

$override_locale = "en_GB.UTF-8";

Windows:

$override_locale = "eng";

[Campbell Morrison]

Yes, you might think so and that's what I thought at first. But I tested the $override_locale change and that doesn't change the date format in the datepicker. To make the datepicker change you have to change the language tokens.

Whether that's the desired behaviour or not probably needs a bit of thought.
