Spanish Date (th suffix)

Hey there

Is this in the front end or in the CMS? In the front end, you can use the date() PHP function to construct the date however you like.

Say you have a date like 25th Jun, 2007 and you want to convert it to remove the suffix. You would use the date function like so:

<?php echo date('M j, Y', strtotime('25th Jun, 2007')); ?>

strtotime() is important because it converts date strings into UNIX timestamps which the date() function requires in order to work.

Here's the function reference for date(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

You can see that you have many more options for rendering dates exactly how you want them to look. The 'M j, Y' string at the start tells the function how you want to show the date and which parts you want to include.

Hi Claire, thanks for your quick answer.

I've this issue on the backend. Thanks again for your help!

Sure, thanks.

Thank you. I'm afraid it's not possible to change the display through the CMS, but I believe we could write a small plugin to alter how the dates appear in the list. If you'd like us to do this, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we can send you a quote for the work.

Thank you Claire, if I remember correctly there was a tool to fix this in the old AM2, am I correct?

Any chance to get something like that? Because for Spanish speaking people, the th suffix really doesn't work.

I'll refer this to Damon, he knows AM2 much better than I would. He may have another solution.

Hi,

You can change the date to display like this:  2014-12-15

To do this, go Admin > General Settings and in the Date Field Format  dropdown choose default.

For a future version of CMS Builder, I have forward a request  to get the date suffixes (st, nd, rd, th)  added to the language file so they can be customized or removed as needed.

Thanks!
