Re: problem with language packages

Hello Walaa,

AFAIK, the selected locale sets .NET (and not DotNetNuke) to obtain the date related settings directly from Windows settings (server side).

However it is an interesting question how to tweak this behavior. For example, my sites show the day of the week and the month using a lowercase first letter, because that is the way Spanish is supposed to behave. And, even if I would like to see those first letters uppercased, I don't know how to configure it.

If anyone does, any recommendation will be very welcome.

Saludos,

Alejandro.

Hey, Walaa,

After investigating a little the skin object, I have found that our needs are really easy to satisfy.

In order to format the date the way you want, you only need to edit the file "CurrentDate.ascx.vb", which is stored inside the "~/Admin/Skins" directory.

Inside that file, look at the following code (and modify it to suit your needs):

Private Sub
Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load



    '
public attributes

    If
CssClass <> "" Then

       
lblDate.CssClass = CssClass

    End
If



    Dim
objUserTime As New
UserTime



    '
---{ I have added the following 2 lines }---

    Dim
sMonth() As String = {"Enero", "Febrero", "Marzo", "Abril", _

                             
"Mayo", "Junio", "Julio", "Agosto", _

                             
"Septiembre", "Octubre",

"Noviembre",

"Diciembre"}



    lblDate.Text =
objUserTime.CurrentUserTime.Day.ToString() _

       
+ " de " +
sMonth(objUserTime.CurrentUserTime.Month - 1) _

       
+ " de " +
objUserTime.CurrentUserTime.Year.ToString()



    '
---{ I have commented the following 5 lines }---

    'If Dateformat <> "" Then

    '   
lblDate.Text = format(objUserTime.CurrentUserTime, Dateformat)

    'Else

    '   
lblDate.Text = objUserTime.CurrentUserTime.ToLongDateString

    'End If



End Sub

And that's it. Problem solved! :-D

Saludos,
Alejandro.
