[opencms-dev] OpenCms 6 a 2 - I18N - Workplace Locale Country enGB

[Mike Bachrynowski]

Thanks

How hard would it be to set up a preference file date display property
(the character string for SimpleDateFormat)?  I believe many non
technical content editors would prefer to see user customisable
"display" formats of "Wed 1 Dec" instead of "12/01/04".  IMO they like
to see the day of week listed.

Maybe as a simple interim fix we do not need to allow individual user
choice perhaps a general property.
Then only the coupl of methods that retrieves and formats the date need
amending., 

I suggest in "webapps/opencms/config/opencms-workplace.xml" is added

<opencms>
<workplace>
<defaultfiledatedisplay>E dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss
Z</defaultfiledatedisplay>


Regards

Mike

The workplace locales are currently not in any property or XML file, but
you
have to create a new folder with the name of the locale (e.g. en_GB) in
the
/system/workplace/locales/ folder. 

Howerver, I just found out that the implementation only used the
language
and not the country variant. I fixed this in CVS so it will be available
in
the next download release.

Best Regards,
Alex.
