Hi!
I have trying for 3 days to change the date format of date extra field here :
remontiram.com/
and here:
remontiram.com/offer-trip/item/10-%D0%BF%D1%8A%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5-%D0%B4%D0%BE-%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD

First is k2filtrify module second link is item view page.

I want dates in date extrafield in format YYYY MM DD ?

I have tried changing values in language files in bulgarian, language overrides but its not working ?
Maybe it is the calendar inputing the value in the backend ?
I didn't manage to change the format of calendar here
/administrator/components/com_k2/models/extrafield.php

"
$output = JHTML::_('calendar', $active, 'K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id, 'K2ExtraField_'.$extraField->id);
"
Please help.

Hi. Go to your language file and set the desired format by translating the "K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC" variable. Note that this will change the date format in other places too, where this variable is used.

Hi
I did that ,and noting happened!
I have changed :

K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2="%Y %m %d" and
K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC="%Y %m %d"

and in the frontend it is still
Четвъртък, 20 Септември 2012

Again this is an extra field

Did you changed the right file? The one for the current language and not the English one? Also if you are under Joomla! 2.5 the formatting should not include the percentage character. Take a look at the en-GB.com_k2.ini file and translate accordingly.

Hi,

I had the same problem and changing the language-files did not solve it. But after a little research I found this "solution":

Add a language-override with the key: "K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC" and the text :"d. M Y". It works fine!

Lefteris, it seems these keys are hardcoded:

K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2="%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M"
K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC="%A, %d %B %Y"

Changing them in the ini files won't have any effect. In fact, you can delete them and nothing will change.
As Pelle Joens said, you can work around this by overriding keys in joomlas ACP but without the %.

If this bug has already been reported, forget it, if not, please fix it, thanks.

Hi,

could you explain how this works exactly "Add a language-override"?

If not in one of the language ini files where else is this added?


thank you

Weirdly, K2 defines the date format in the ini files in administrator language files. Finally finding and changing those worked for me. Change en-GB.com_k2.j16.ini and you could be good to go.

I'm no expert so I can't tell you more than that except I beat my head against my keyboard for an hour last night wondering why changing the normal language files didn't do anything. K2 shouldn't have the entires in the normal language files if they don't do anything.

Credit and thanks to this guy.

Note, you can make new date formats here just as easily, get more customization and not accidentally break things elsewhere. I have K2_DATE_FORMAT_MONTH and K2_DATE_FORMAT_YEAR for when I need those.
