date format not correctly translated to Dutch form

Hi Anthony,

I just found that the default grid template does not translate the dates into the normal Dutch format when the default language of the site langiage is set to Dutch.
I expected this to be an error in the translation files, but these are correct: the error only shows with the Grid2 default template, in Shopfront and in other Joomla templates the dates are okay.

I am using the Zen default template version 1.0.5; the Zen Grid Frameword version 1.0.2; all inside j 1.5.18.

Any advice on how to correct this?

Best regards,

Paul

Hi Anthony,

Yes, the link is:
this is the site

The date projected is juli 8 2010; the correct Dutch format is 8 juli 2010.

Best regards,

Paul

Hey Paul,

That format is set in the override files for Zen Default,

You can find this line of code

<?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('<span class="datemonth">%b</span><span class="dateday">%d</span><span class="dateyear">%Y</span>')); ?>

in the following files

/templates/zenDefault/html/com_content/article/default.php line42

/templates/zenDefault/html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php line88

/templates/zenDefault/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php line83

/templates/zenDefault/html/com_content/section/blog_item.php line 85

You can replace it with

<?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->article->created, JText::_('<span class="dateday">%d</span><span class="datemonth">%b</span><span class="dateyear">%Y</span>')); ?>

That should give you the right format.

Cheers,
Jason.
