Date Format dd-mm-yyyy

[mankul]

Hello,

All over Ofbiz I want to change the Date format to be displayed as
dd-mm-yyyy.

I Changed the format in UtilDateTime.java file but still values are
displayed as mm-dd-yyyy only.

Any inputs over this would be of great help.

Thanks,
Mandar

HI Mandar

If you are using XML for FTL to display the date on UI ,that its easy to
display.
on FTL you can use

${requestList.Date?if_exists?string("dd/MM/yyyy")

through given above format you can show it in the form of dd/mm/yyyy

Hi,

I am not using FTL. I want to use entire Ofbiz and I cannot go and change
the date setting in each and every form and FTL.

I was asking about any setting to be done in any properties file or similar
to the UTilDateTime Format Change, etc which would change the way date
appears in the application.

Thanks
Mandar

This should be a configurable aspect of OFBiz, and not be hard coded.
Before you know it, one of your users (or many) will come along and would
like to have OFBiz used in a different country/region where they would to
have the dates displayed in a different format. With hard coded definitions
of how dates are displayed you limit the user experience and thereby the
applicability and adoption of OFBiz.

Hello Hans,

Thanks for your input.
As per that, I changed the locale to en_UK in start.properties, and rebuild
the project also, but this didnt change date format.
After that I tried changing the locale to de and fr also, but neither of
them worked.

Kindly guide on what is missing.

Thanks,
Mandar

Hi Mandar

Have a look at the renderDateTimeField
in /framework/widget/templates/htmlFormMacroLibrary.ftl.  Modifying this
macro should give you the ability to set the display format for date-times,
at least for those defined in xml form widgets.  It will not deal with
date/time displays in ftl files.  You might have to modify each ftl file or
handle all ftls through a javascript manipulation.
