Hello
I have installed 2 translations files (French & Hebrew).

Since the installation of those translations I have a bug when I open the Jevents calendar in the menu.

I get the following error :
DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (Samedi, 6 Janvier 2018) at position 0 (S): The timezone could not be found in the database


How can I solve the problem ?

thank you for help

best regards

You can use strftime formatting codes for the dates e.g.


{{Start Date:STARTDATE;%a, %d %b %Y}}

Hello,

Can you enable Maximum Error Reporting and debug in Joomla! Global config and try again? It should so you a file and link number of the issue?

Many thanks

Thank you.

I have found the origin of the problem : I'm using in customized layout the following text : 


{{Start Date:STARTDATE}}

to get the stardate of the record. Then I want to get the day, month number and year as dd-mm-YYYY.

I transform the text with 


$date = new DateTime($parm)

where $parm is {{Start Date:STARTDATE}}.

No problem when the site is in english. When the site is in french the $parm transformation gives the error.

Is it possible to get STARDATE with only dd,mm,YYYY in the customized layout ?

thank you for advices

best regards
