Hi everyone,

As you said Khoand, change the English language file, but it is not.

I’ve managed to change the date format from English to Spanish editing the template files.

The files to edit are:

<blockquote>joomla_route/templates/ja_events/html/com_content/article/default.php</blockquote>
Near the line #88 to #97

Default is:

[PHP]<?php if ($params->get(‘show_create_date’)) : ?>
<dd class=”create”>
<?php
$createDay = date(‘d’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
$createMonth = date(‘M’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
?>
<span class=”date”><?php echo $createDay; ?></span>
<span class=”month”><?php echo $createMonth; ?></span>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

Change to:

[PHP]<?php if ($params->get(‘show_create_date’)) : ?>
<dd class=”create”>
<?php
$createDay = date(‘d’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->item->created, JText::_(‘M’));
?>
<span class=”date”><?php echo $createDay; ?></span>
<span class=”month”><?php echo $createMonth; ?></span>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

<blockquote>joomla_route/templates/ja_events/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php</blockquote>
Near the line #53 to #62

Default is:

[PHP]<?php if ($params->get(‘show_create_date’)) : ?>
<dd class=”create”>
<?php
$createDay = date(‘d’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
$createMonth = date(‘M’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
?>
<span class=”date”><?php echo $createDay; ?></span>
<span class=”month”><?php echo $createMonth; ?></span>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

Change to:

And,

<blockquote>joomla_route/templates/ja_events/html/com_content/featured/default_item.php</blockquote> Near the line #124 to #136

Default is:

<div class=”inner clearfix”>
[PHP] <?php
if ($this->params->get(‘show_create_date’)) :
$createDay = date(‘d’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->item->created, JText::_(‘M’));
$createYear = date(‘Y’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
?>
<div class=”articleCreated”>
<span class=”date”><?php echo $createDay; ?></span>
<span class=”month”><?php echo $createMonth; ?></span>
<span class=”year”><?php echo $createYear; ?></span>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

Change to:

[PHP] <?php
if ($this->params->get(‘show_create_date’)) :
$createDay = date(‘d’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->item->created, JText::_(‘M’));
$createYear = date(‘Y’, strtotime( $this->item->created));
?>
<div class=”articleCreated”>
<span class=”date”><?php echo $createDay; ?></span>
<span class=”month”><?php echo $createMonth; ?></span>
<span class=”year”><?php echo $createYear; ?></span>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

Best regards.

Thank you both for your answers, but none has been successful.

I’m working with a local server (wamp) for testing before getting online web site.

Friend, alakentu

I have taken the suggestion you gave me, but your sample code seems to have changed, and it is not exactly like your samples.

However, when opening files which I already knew, I found this command line in common: “$createMonth = date(‘M’, strtotime( $this->article->created));”

This line only appears in the files:

default.php
default_item.php

According to what you indicate as samples that line is that I changed to this new line: “$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->item->created, JText::_(‘M’));” to show the month in Spanish

I made that change in the two files that you indicated above, but only shows me the format as follows: 18 M 2010

In the remaining file “blog_item.php” there is no line like you indicate to change. There is no code like that you mentioned to change.

Thanks in advanced.

PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS, I NEED TO DELIVER THE PROJECT THIS WEEK, AND SHOW THE RIGHT WAY DATE FORMATS.

That version of the template you are using? What I replied is to be applied to version 1.0.0 Beta for Joomla 1.6.

Anyway, if you use the version for Joomla 1.5.X should be different.

default.php and default_item.php files for the route:
<blockquote>templatesja_eventshtmlcom_contentarticle in the line #49 and
templatesja_eventshtmlcom_contentfrontpage in the line #120</blockquote>

Change:

[PHP]$createMonth = date(‘M’, strtotime( $this->article->created)); [/PHP]

To:

[PHP]$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->article->created, JText::_(‘%b’));[/PHP]

Dear Friend, Alakentu

Thanks for your help, it really has been invaluable, I could solve the problem. However, we must clarify the following:

1 .- I’m using joomla 1.5.23

2 .- The line to change is different in each file, to:

File: default.php
<blockquote> templatesja_eventshtmlcom_contentarticle in the line #49 and #168 </blockquote>
Use this: [PHP]$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->article->created, JText::_(‘%b’));[/PHP]

and

File: default_item.php
<blockquote>templatesja_eventshtmlcom_contentfrontpage in the line #120</blockquote>

Use this: [PHP]$createMonth = JHTML::_(‘date’, $this->item->created, JText::_(‘%b’));[/PHP]

I hope this is helpful to others. Success for all.:)

Hello,

Yes, exactly as in both cases the original code is: [PHP]$createMonth = date(‘M’, strtotime( $this->article->created)); [/PHP]

Just change it by and let you see results.

Does not work! If I follow the suggestion, the site returns the default date set (in my case America / Sao Paulo).
