Date and Time Format Change

[PCBob]

Is it possible to change the date format to: MM/DD/YYYY
and
Time to HH:MM 12 hour clock

Whe I write out to the HTML templates?

I have done a search through the forum and found some material on the local machine format and my local machine is set to how I prefer it.

No big deal just thought it would be another excuse to go in and tweak my page.

Thanks

Which dates aren't coming out in that format? It should be using your machine format for most dates?

12-hour time format is tricky with the Cumulus code as it stands now; I didn't envisage anyone wanting to use that format, as 24-hour format is pretty much the meteorological standard. I think you would have to use some javascript (or something like that) to convert.

I'll scratch the 12 hour deal.

What I see in the DD MM YYYY format is mostly the all time records like:

<#TrrateM>
<#TrfallhH>
<#TrfallH>
<#TrfallmH>

I would like them and all the dates to be mmddyyyy which is how my PC system clock is set.

Thanks for any tips

Ah, yes, the all-time record dates are actually all in the format "24 February 2010", with the full string being something like "at 05:19 on 24 February 2010", which is, I admit, somewhat inflexible. It was my attempt at creating a format which didn't have the usual US vs Rest of the World ambiguity. At the moment, I think the only way you could alter that is by javascript (read in the string, parse it, write it back out in your chosen format). I guess in the longer term, I could introduce more web tags for those with alternative formats, or perhaps better, a way of configuring the format.

No worries Steve at all, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something simple. If I can't look for things to tweak it's not a hobby right?

Take care

Absolutely. You could always have a play with javascript, it's something I want to do but haven't had the time.
