Date formatting to UK

[cr41g]

When my customers are entering their details I want them to input the date in the format above but this is currently set as an error.

I've tried changing a few lines of which I thought may do it but I am obviously wrong it still dosen't work. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Maybe some help here:

Alternatively you could use this contribution

It's supposed to be done pre install but it is possible to use after install especially if your careful and examine the sql carefully.

OR THIS

 

 

Go to catalog\includes\languages\english.php

 

find

 

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

 

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);

}

}

 

and replace with

 

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

 

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 date()

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

 

////

// Return date in raw format

// $date should be in format dd/mm/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);

}

}

 

Also change the following definitions

 

CODE

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Your Date of Birth must be in this format: MM/DD/YYYY (eg 05/21/1970)');

to

 

CODE

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Your Date of Birth must be in this format: DD/MM/YYYY (eg 21/05/1970)');

 

 

 

CODE

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 05/21/1970)');

to

 

CODE

define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 21/05/1970)');

 

 

 

CODE

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');

to

 

CODE

define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');

 

You might want to do the same on the admin side.
