Topic: Saratoga template date settings [Resolved]

[Vasco]

New user of template, not quite ready to go public, having a few problems navigating the site. (TBH, I wouldn't have a site if Ken hadn't already sorted some quirks of my ISP  )

Having set

Code: [Select]

$SITE['timeFormat'] = 'j/n/y H:i';
in Settings.php, why do I get Y in the headlines? I would prefer y, so how can I change it?


Or is this a Weather Display artefact?

That message is from JavaScript, not a PHP setting.  Since you didn't include a URL to your site in the post or in your profile, I can't tell what weather software you're using.

The script you want to edit to use the 2-digit date is named ajax{XX}wx.js -- they all have similar construction, just use different sources of realtime data.  Let me know the URL of your website, and I can be more specific with modification instructions.

Sorry, Ken, I posted about WD just before you replied. Site is now in profile. . . was hoping to wait until I'd got it right 

I've just found some date/time settings in ajaxWDwx.php. . . down at line 887    But they suggest I should see, e.g., Fri Nov 11, 2022. . .

BTW I don't mind H:i:s (s = clientraw #31) in the headings

The ajaxWDwx.js doesn't really reprocess the date used in Weather-Display clientraw.txt file

Code: [Select]

var ajaxdateformat = clientraw[74]; so getting to a two-digit year for the AJAX updates on your site is not going to be easy.  the clientraw[74] looks like

Code: [Select]

11/11/2022 and the format depends on WD settings.

Thanks, Ken. I realise WD uses d/m/Y or m/d/Y as user settings, but now I know where to find it I'll have a go.

Think I've cracked it, rather selfishly. Changed line 901 in ajaxWDwx.js

Code: [Select]

// var ajaxdateformat = clientraw[74];
var ajaxdateformat = clientraw[35] + "/" + clientraw[36] + "/" + [clientraw[141]-2000];

You guys across the pond might want to swap [35] and [36]

Fixed them both, now   Changed line 372 of ajax-dashboard.php from

Code: [Select]

<span class="ajax" id="ajaxindicator"><?php langtrans("Updated"); ?>:</span>&nbsp;@
to

Code: [Select]

<span class="ajax" id="ajaxindicator"><?php langtrans("Updated"); ?></span>:&nbsp;

so no @ and position of colon agrees with line 105 of ajax-gizmo.php
