Changing from US to UK format.

[theconversionplace]

Having a few problems converting my store from a US to a UK format, even though i've changed all location sttings to UK.

 

This is mainly changing addresses from Format 2 to Format 1 aswell as changing check to cheque.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks in advance

in english.php

 

 

insert this over orginal code

 

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

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

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

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

 

////

// Return date in raw format

// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy

// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY

function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {

if ($reverse) {

return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);

} else {

return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);

}

}

If you haven't added anything to your store yet, you could grab the UK Based osCommerce 2.2, contribution.

BACKUP your current files before editing. Did I mention to BACKUP your current files, first?

 

Change date format from English to International

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...id=914459

 

Change this in includes/languages/english.php

 

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');

////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
 if ($reverse) {
return substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
 } else {
return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2);
 }
}

 

to this (you can copy it from german.php, also)

 

define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d.%m.%Y');  // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A, %d. %B %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd.m.Y');  // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');

////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
 if ($reverse) {
return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
 } else {
return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);
 }
}

If you haven't already sussed it out - navigate through the contribution directories, uploading the files to the corresponding directories, of your store.

 

You would be advised to, temporarily, change the names of the files you are about to replace. That way, should something break when you upload the new files, you only need to change their names back again, to recover it.

 

i.e.

Before you upload [contribution] catalog/includes/modules/address_book_details.php

Rename [your store] catalog/includes/modules/original_address_book_details.php

 

If everything works ok, just delete the original, renamed the files.
