UPS XML Displayed Date Format

[dwhoover]

I'm trying to change the date format displayed on the Delivery Information and subsequent pages. It is currently "2005-09-19"...I would like it to read "09-19-2005".

 

Can anyone share a fix for this?

 

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Actually, directions for things like that are already in the catalog/includes/modules/shipping/upsxml.php file (around line 250):

  // instead of just adding the expected delivery date as ", yyyy-mm-dd"
 // you might like to change this to your own liking for example by commenting the
 // three lines above this and uncommenting/changing the next:
 // START doing things differently

 

In this case you would have to simplify the given example to (untested):

   	 if (isset($this->servicesTimeintransit[$type])) {
  	 $eta_array = explode("-", $this->servicesTimeintransit[$type]["date"]);
  	 $eta_arrival_date = $eta_array[2]."-".$eta_array[1]."-".$eta_array[0];
   $_type = $_type . ", " . $eta_arrival_date;
   }

Sorry about the duplicate post. I'm just getting used to posting and replies!

 

Thanks for the info, and yes, I should have RTFM (or, in this case, RTFC).

 

Cheers!
