Setting time to 12 hour and not 24 hour

ken · 29.05.2004, 00:37

How do I switch the time in the events component to reflect a 12 hour format and not a 24 hour format? It seems to be 12 hour on other components/modules but not in the events component.

I've looked in the PHP manual for the proper string but don't know what to change within the mambo file(s).

Thanks!

What about setting time to "US" in the Events config?

It's already set on "US" in the config section of Events.

I have come up with a hack to display the hours in a 12 hr format.

You will need to open the events.php file and look for this line of code (around line 882):

PHP Code:

  if ($start_hours.$start_minutes <> $chhours) {  

            echo "<tr><td align='center' valign='top' width='50' class='ev_td_left'>".$start_hours." : ".$start_minutes."</td>\n";

            echo "<td class='ev_td_right'><ul class='ev_ul'>\n;

and replace with this:

PHP Code:

  if ($start_hours==1) { 

            echo "<tr><td align='center' valign='middle' width='60' class='ev_td_left'>1 : ".$start_minutes." am</td>\n";

            echo "<td class='ev_td_right'><ul class='ev_ul'>\n"; 

        } else if ($start_hours==2) {  

            echo "<tr><td align='center' valign='middle' width='60' class='ev_td_left'>2 : ".$start_minutes." am</td>\n";

            echo "<td class='ev_td_right'><ul class='ev_ul'>\n"; 

        }

and continuing on until you get to 24. If you noticed I removed the $start_hours variable and hard coded the real time in 12 hr format and added the am - pm indicator at the end. Hopefully this is a good enough hack until a real fix is implemented.

Hi! I know, this was an issue that was brought up 3 years ago and I understand that it was a long time ago! But honestly, it is only now that I encountered this problem. May I know how you solved this problem of yours? Because unfortunately, I couldn't find the codes written above anywhere in my events.php file
