[opencms-dev] How to change the date format?

Thu Jan 25 14:55:36 CET 2007

I guess you're showing content using <cms:contentshow> or something like
that, then?  The alternative is to extract the value yourself - into a
String, if that's the only way JSTL and the OpenCms taglib will let you, and
parse it to a Date then back out again.  I don't use <contentload> and
<contentshow> myself, nor the JSTL, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help
here - someone else?

Hey Jon,

it is so.. It's about the date format showed on the website (from news and
events). When I need to write a bit of Java that's ok. But I thought of just
changing the existing file where the date format is declared. Is this
possible or is the format taken from a standard library and if I want some
"special" I have to write something by myself? If so I'm wondering about the
format now. It shows like: 01/25/07 and this is definitely no swedish format
(that's were I'm writing from)..

Thanks a lot for your help

Samir
