How to change the date format ?

[7heo]

Hello,

First, a huge thank you for your job you are awesome !

Jcomments is a perfect component which has only one problem for me, it doesn't really matter but, my website being in french, I would like to change the date format. Nowadays it's such as this format : Y-m-d H:i, i.e. english's format and I'd like it such as : d-m-Y H:i.

My question is, what file do I have to edit because I don't manage to find it.

Thank you for reading and helping.
And congratulation for your work.

Théo (sorry for my english, I'm french  )

At now you can edit template's file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php:

Code: (php)

<span class="comment-date"><?php echo JCommentsText::formatDate($comment->datetime, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'); ?></span>

replace with:

Code: (php)

<span class="comment-date"><?php echo JCommentsText::formatDate($comment->datetime, '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M'); ?></span>

In future version I'm plan move datetime format to language file...

It works ! Thank you smart 

I think I have already seen the question about "à" on forum. Have you find a solution ?

Really good job and thanks again

I think I have already seen the question about "à" on forum.

No, can you show me this question?

I'm sorry I made a mistake, I saw this question on a french website speaking about your component.

I explain the problem :

"à" doesn't belong to english language so you cannot note this problem.

In fact, when somebody write a comment for instance :
"J'aime aller à Paris" which means in english "I like going to Paris"

Sentence doesn't appear totally, it is cut at the "à", i.e. we can read :
"J'aime aller"

French often use the "à" :s

Hello,

I'm French too (with fuc*** bad English, I'm sorry) and I'd like to change format date. I'm using Jcomments 2.0.0.19.

I edit template's file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php:

Code: (php)

<span class="comment-date"><?php echo date( 'Y-m-d H:i', $comment->datetime); ?></span>

replace with:

Code: (php)

<span class="comment-date"><?php echo date( 'd-m-Y H:i', $comment->datetime); ?></span>

It's working

But I'd like to have a format date like : "02 août 2009 à 18H00" (02 August 2009 at 6:00 pm).

Is it possible ? How can I do ?

Thanks in advance !!

Since JComments 2.1 you can change date format in your JComments language file (fr-FR.com_jcomments.ini):

Code:

# date and time format
DATE_FORMAT=%d-%m-%Y
TIME_FORMAT=%H:%M
DATETIME_FORMAT=%d-%m-%Y %H:%M

See php.net/strftime for format description

I updated from 2.0.0.9 to 2.1 and I changed in fr-FR.com_jcomments.ini and it's working. Perfect!
Thank you very much.

I can't seem to get dat change to work, altered the language file etc.

Currently I have this and I use English GB

Want the format to be 10-01-2010 22:56

Am I missing something here, or has the latest version moved the format.

However in the Comments Module the date is fine.

Seems you've changed wrong file. You  need make changes in /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_jcomments.ini, not /components/com_jcomments/languages/en-GB.com_jcomments.ini (this file is temporary)

Thank you, that fixed it, never thought to look there.
