Timezone configuration - How?

edited July 2010 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
Hi all,

I use Vanilla in Austria and would like to change the timezone settings, as they appear wrong.

The 2nd thing is that i'd like to configure 0:00-24:00 timeframe in opposition to am/pm, so i wondered if there is an option to reconfigure this setting.

Thanx for help,
p*

    When users log in javascript sends their current time to the server to set the timezone. You should be seeing the correct times on your posts. If you aren't can you tell me what browser/version/os you are using?

    To change the format of your times you can add the following to your /conf/config.php: 
    $Configuration['Date']['DefaultTimeFormat'] = '%H:%M';
    There are other config settings for date/time formats too:
    Date.DefaultDayFormat
    Date.DefaultYearFormat
    Date.DefaultFormat

    For all the options in date/time formats see strftime.

    Yep, same here. I added 
    $Configuration['Date']['DefaultTimeFormat'] = '%H:%M';
    $Configuration['Date']['DefaultDayFormat'] = '%e. %B';
    to config.php but it doesn't seem to change anything. Maybe I didn't do it right?

    BTW: this post loads with just a "100 older" link. I have to press it to view the discussion items. Bug, right?

    Okay guys, sorry about this. I'll look into this. I went into the code, but didn't check to see if it works. I'll post back when I've figured it out.

    @fredrikstai, Yup, that's a bug in our voting plugin and it will be addressed shortly. The forum without the plugin works fine though.

    Okay, I found the correct way to change your formats. They aren't a config option, but a language option. So you can put the formats for your dates in a language pack. If you just want to change the default language pack (en-CA) then do the following:
    1. Create a file called /conf/locale-en-CA.php
    2. Put the following in the file:
    <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
    $Definition['Date.DefaultTimeFormat'] = '%H:%M';
    $Definition['Date.DefaultDayFormat'] = '%e. %B';

    I think you might need your actual server to be French, but I'm not sure. If you post a Github issue it will be on our radar.

    @Todd i have tried your solution but it does not work. Here is how i got it to work:

    Go the root of your forum folders -> open 'conf' -> open 'locale.php' -> the file needs to look like this: 
    <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
    $Definition['Date.DefaultTimeFormat'] = '%H:%M';
    $Definition['Date.DefaultDayFormat'] = '%e. %B';
