Date Format - change to DD/MM/YY

[kenuk1]

Hi all, Ive been trying to find some help on these forums but cant get what I need.

 

The dates on my site are all in the US format MM/DD/YY, does anyone know hoe to change the date to DD/MM/YY.

 

Its the same for products arriving soon and when you are signing up, gets a bit cionfusing for some apparently lol

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

 

Merry Xmas :)

I believe you change that in whichever language file you are using.

I am using catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

Right near the top you should see

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%m/%d/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

define('DATE_FORMAT', 'm/d/Y'); // this is used for date()

define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

If you change it there, it should do the trick across the site, atleast for where the customers see.

Not sure on this one, what do I change it too?

 

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

 

I changed all the others and it seems that the products that are "due in" are still showing MM/DD/YYYY>

 

Cheers
