[Phphelpdesk-help] Date format modification -- attempt two :)

[Benjamin L. <bd...@ph...>]

Apologies for my post earlier this week, it seems that Microsoft Outlook 
Web access is not the best piece of software out there....
	
Here is my email:

Hi everyone, 
I was wondering if it was easily possible to change the date 
in PHPhelpdesk 
from YYYY-MM-DD to DD-MM-YYYY? I'm assuming this is more 
related with
how the actual date is being shown rather how it is stored in 
the database.
Exactly what files would I need to modify? 

thanks in 
advance, 
Ben Leung

Hmm, this hasn't come up before.  I think we could easily add a config
setting to select the date format.  If you want, you could go to
PHP Helpdesk on Sourceforge.net and add this as a feature
request, and we'll get around to it eventually!

Which pages in particular are you talking about?  The date is displayed in 
many areas.  It would be nice to make a nice configuration variable in the 
general.conf.php file to choose how to display the date, but this doesn't 
exist as of yet.  For the most part, all the displayed scripts are in the 
scripts/ directory.  The date is stored mostely in MySQL database using a 
DATETIME variable type.  you should be able to just display it the way that 
you want it.

Joe,

thanks for getting back to me so soon.

I was thinking of changing the date:
1) the history of the job
2) the report-date-selection dialogs

Being from Australia, we use a DD-MM-YYYY format, and the users are getting 
a bit confused about the switch around between DD-MM and MM-DD

I'll put in a formal request on your sourceforge page and take a look and 
see if i can help out a little. I managed to change it on the 'printable 
report' page, shouldn't be a problem to churn through the code to find all 
the other bits where date/time is displayed

thanks,
Ben
