Time format in Calendar event popup

by **sdrury** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:38 am

Hi,

Have searched but not found the answer. When viewing the calendar (Joomla 1.5, JEvents 2.0) and hovering the mouse pointer over an event, the pop up shows the time in 12hr format when I would expect it to be 24hr format.

The time in other JEvents screens is displayed as 24hr format.

Is there a setting I have missed that will display the time in 24hr format in the pop ups?

Date format field is set to 'FromLanguageFile'
Use 12hr time format is set to 'no'

As you are using the "FromLanguageFile" option, you should go to the language file and change the time format representation. Assuming you are using English from Great Britain you have to:

1. Edit the file: [JOOMLA]/languages/en-GB/en-GB.com_jevents.ini
2. Look for the string: "TIME_FORMAT"
3. Replace the %l:%M with %H:%M

The possible values for that strings are the same as in the strftime() php function.

Thankyou - I will give that a try.
