Good evening,

I was wondering in which file I might be able to change the date format.
Currently it is set to y/m/d
Is there a way to change this to dd/mm/yyyy

Thanks,

Simon

You can change the default date format in the global.php language file. So for english it is in ./language/english/global.php. You'll find 3 defines around line 174-176 (_DATESTRING, _MEDIUMDATESTRING, and _SHORTDATESTRING). You'll see _SHORTDATESTRING is set to 'Y/n/j' - you'll want to change that to 'd/m/Y'. You'll want to make similar changes to the _DATESTRING and _MEDIUMDATESTRING defines.

Once you do this you may find some modules still show the wrong date format. if you do you need to find the templates that show them and change the templates in the same manner.

Users have struggled with this for years. Embarrassing that it isn't an install or admin pref. I have added it to the 2.6 wishlist.
A thread is for life. Not just for Christmas.

Yes it would be a good inclusion for 2.6.
