Hello Everyone!

Currently, my Agenda calender module diaplays the date in this format:
"Today is 2004 December 28 Tuesday"

How do I change the format to read:
"Today is Tuesday, December 28th"

I see the "$agendax.date" smarty tag within the template, but I'm not versed enough with Smarty to understand where I would make the change.

Also, the "Thisweek_block" displays any reacurring events by including a "(reocurring)" link, this is cool except it doesn't state on what day the event is reoccuring! Any ideas of how I could replace or add to the (recurring) link?


Thanks in advance for any help!!

I'm a complete n00b to XOOPS and all that goes with it. I also wanted to change this as it's not a logical format for my users to follow.

I'll probably be burnt at the stake for the way I did it but I just changed the code in the index.php file so that no matter what the _SHORTDATESTRING result was, the format was the same for all three options (n/j/Y, j/n/Y, Y/n/j) [where j=day, n=month & Y=year]. I know I should have found the file where the string is defined, but I've been up for too long and I got tired of looking at the screen.

Anyhow, my index.php now contains the following (I'm sure you'll find the part I'm referring to):


The result? --> Today is Thursday 6 January 2005

It's not pretty but it works for me

It uses the _SHORTDATESTRING definition in /xoops/language/english/global.php - so unless you want to hack the agenda-x codes, make sure yours is defined (in the above file) using any of the 3 letters and forward slash, e.g j/n/Y, n/j/Y, etc...

[ it won't work if you do not use those 3 letters separated by forward slash (j, n or Y)]

THANK YOU!!!!

Hello,

Thank you for your help with my date issue!

I have one more question regarding how the date is displayed.
Currently the date reads: i.e. 1/21/2005

I want the date to be displayed as: Wednesday, Jan. 21

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help!
