Re: date format

Not this Canadian either. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> I think most people in Quebec use DD-MM-YYYY format... well most people I know anyway. <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Re: date format

Unfortunately 05-Mar-03 needs additional work at the server, because being in words that will need a language translation that a purely numerical format does not need.

That's too bad. In ColdFusion, I can simply use DateFormat(dateobject,inputmask) and output it. Both can be variables and the latter could easily be read from the user profile. I could even LSDateFormat() to use the date format of the locality defined by the browser.

But that's CF. I don't know PHP.

I'll just deal with the dates. Consider the ability to define date format to be a feature request.
 

Re: date format

If I ever get the new version of the software modified to my liking users will be able to choose which time format they want. I added that to it, but, still have some optimizations to do to the db layer before I can upgrade.
Time format choice will be a reality soon.

Great&WonderfulOz: logged into the twilight zone

(This is the closest thing I could find to a forum bugs thread.)

The forum has an annoying habit of sending my login to the twilight zone. That is, I become neither logged in nor logged out, and the only way I have found to re-enter reality is to exit and restart Mozilla.

I think what happens is that my login times out, but something doesn't know it. Access to the forums becomes that of a non-logged-in guest. The "My Home" page will still show "Rock" when refreshed, but none of the links work properly. The "Login" link says "Login" (not "Logout"). When it is clicked, an error page comes up informing me to hit my browser [Back] button.

Mozilla is set to remember my login, and the first time the login page is visited, it shows "Rock" as login name and a set of "****" for the password. Depressing [Enter] or clicking the [Login] button properly logs me in. A few hours later, though, the Resource Zone becomes the Twilight Zone, and I must sacrifice an innocent Mozilla.

The same thing happens to me when I stay logged in for several days. I've found that if I delete all cookies from resource-zone.com I can then log in again without killing and restarting the browser.

Re: Dates

I'm for the international 2003-07-28. This dd/mm/yy thing is confusing to me.

Ah, a Big-Endian after my own heart. There isn't any other way to count.

Re: Dates

Oh come on people - get a grip with reality, does it really matter what date is showing?? Shouldnt you be editing instead? :)

I'm sorry: yes it does. In the german forum just were some confusions about 10-01-2004 and the 6-month-period, although we know the right order. It is easily recognised as 10th of January because of old german date which is dd.mm.yyyy.

It doesn't make a good impression to the submittors if the are different statements of the editors - only because they accidentally overlooked the right order of the date format :eek:

:monacle: The call of the PHP date funtion for YYYY-MM-DD is date("Y-m-d" [, int timestamp]);
Please refer to http://php.net/manual/function.date.php

Thank you.

Discussion also in http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12095 with more suitable title.
