Perhaps the calendar.php file in your language files will help?.?..

No, that can be found in the languages/yourlanguage/global.php file, way down at the bottom.

I have looked there but I cant figure out what to change in the global file so it shows what I want it to.. There is no definition that says "Mon" "Tue" etc.. What code do I have to change?

The format codes are those used by the PHP date function. "D" is the format code you're looking for.

If you'll provide a complete example of how you want the date displayed, we can provide the format string.

I dont think that you understand what I want here, but here we go.. =)


A short datestring that looks like this: "Mon 05 Apr 2004" should look like this: "Mån 05 Apr 2004"

So, I want the shorted names of the days translated like this:

Mon - Mån
Tue - Tis
Wed - Ons
Thu - Tor
Fri - Fre
Sat - Lör
Sun - Sön

I don't know if PHP has the capability to "localize" the month names like that in its date function.

A quick and dirty solution would be to hardcode the names into the function formatTimestamp in include/functions.php. That's where those format strings are translated into date strings.

well PHP can doo this.
It should be :
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'no_NO.ISO8859-1');
for norwegian

It works nicly in a separet script, mut in XOOPS its not working. something is in the way. Can't find out what.
