If it is a more uk orientated site

 

English Default

catalog/includes/languages/english.php line# 19-45

 

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_UK.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);
}
}

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)
define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

// Global entries for the <html> tag
define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="LTR" lang="en"');

// charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

 

then Line# 73

 

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

 

then line# 186-187

 

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

 

all line numbers are approximates as my code is modified.

 

you need to do this in the admin/includes/languages/english.php as well

thanks for the tips.

 

Is there a way that the time can be modified when the server is located in a different country to the osC shop?

 

what I mean is this. I am in australia. My host server is in the US. I want to know the date and time an order was placed in my 'local time' and also when I have specials they should expire at midnight in my time.

 

Is this an osC modification or something to be done via the host server? I'm not the only site being hosted on that server, of course.
