> Since I live in Australia I would like to change the date format to DD/MM/YYYY rather than the default American format which has the month first. I would like to change it globally but in particular in the forums portlet as it could cause confusion. I thought it might be a global, user or locale setting but I cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me how to change the date format? Thanks.
Hey Ben... this is actually a very simple fix... you can do it yourself
quite easily.
1) Add en_AU to the list of supported locales in
portal-ext.properties...
2) Set the default portal Language/Country in system-ext.properties (put
this file in the same place as portal-ext.properties)
3) (optional) In order for "English (Australia)"'s flag to appear
in the Language portlet, create a flag icon (16x11 pixels) and place it
in (all) the theme's images/language folder.
4) Restart portal...
Done! All the dates should be Aussi standard everywhere in the portal.
(I tested this to see if it really works and it really does...
).
5) (might not be required) If you're user is still displaying it's
current default language (en_US), change it in My Account... (you might
have to update all the user records in the DB and restart the portal to
re-set this globally for all your users).
You don't even need to worry about a translation to support the
en_AU because the default falls back to en... but you can always
add an en_AU translation as well.. we'd welcome the contribution back in
the portal.
