You can change them in the templates e.g. view.item.html
For the date time, you can pick your own date formatting, e.g. [CREATEDATE:MMM dd yyyy]
The only spot I can't see this working is in a multiple language per single portal format. |

My problem with Date/Time in ArticleView and Archives pages exist, I try to describe in previous message. something is different in this two pages. you could easily test it, only replace attached defalt.aspx.vb file with standard file located in DNN root.

I don't really want to recompile my dotnetnuke install.
Are you saying that the date format is not changing? If not, please use the date expressions to format the date as posted earlier.
[CREATEDATE:MMM dd yyyy]
You can substitute the MMM dd yyyy with any combination of characters, e.g. MM for a shortern month.
You can find more about .net datetime formats here
Or you can just use [CREATEDATE], [PUBLISHDATE], etc in your template only. This will use the "d" format string which will be the configured date format for that locale.

Hi
I've got the same problem.
In two templates (Listing.Item.html and View.Item.html) same token is used for date [PUBLISHSTARTDATE:MMMM dd, yyyy HH:mm] .
It seems that they should behave like each other. in listing the persian calendar works fine but in view mentioned calendar doesn't work.
As Mehran told we changed the default.aspx.vb file. So it's universal. Actually changing the format of date is not enough for us because we need shamsi date. Also [CREATEDATE:MMM dd yyyy] act the same and can't help us.
Do you have any guidance for us? Localization of date is necessary for news and we really need it.
Looking forward an answer!
Regards,
Nafiseh |

When you say "doesn't work", do you mean the CSS calendar? It's not really clear.
If you can provide a link to a live article, it may help. |

Recompile is not needed, it is easy and safe, only replace default.aspx.vb (I attached in my previes message) with original file in your running website ( and take a copy backup ), Recompile is not needed.only view it in browser. As Nafiseh told Localization of date is necessary for news and we really need it, it is not changing date format, Shamsi date is specially for persian culture and is deferent from gregorian calendar. please take a loot at below URL :
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/Hijri_Shamsi_Date.aspx?fid=254936&df=90&mpp=25&noise=3&sort=Position&view=Quick&select=1371550
As you know computer calendar work with gregorian calendar and any other kind of calendars need to convert from gregorian, we do it by some changes in default.aspx.vb ( install versian of DNN ) . Only two part of of NewsArticles Module have problem and i sure you could fix it for all persian users :) . ArticleView" and "Archive" .
I hope to be clear.

Mehran |

Mehran,
I still don't know what is the issue.
What are you expecting it to display? Can you try and do what I suggested? Change the template to use something like [PUBLISHDATE] in your template as opposed to the one that has the date format in it.
Please provide "specific" examples of what it is displaying and what you expect it to display. Also, where it is working, show me what it is displaying (and where). |

I can see the date "05/03/1388", I expect that is the issue.
But can you please try my suggestion:-
Change the template to use something like [PUBLISHDATE] in your template as opposed to the one that has the date format in it. |

Hi again
Just let me describe about the differences of gregorian calendar and persian calendar
2009/06/06 in gregorian calendar is 1388/03/12 in persian calendar
in .net we can use a simple convert to change the date to persian
for example with a control user which I explain below:
we have a variable called enDate which contains gregorian date. with using System.Globalization and insert the below code in page_load of our user control in Visual studio we can convert the date to persian one. It's just a sample with c#:
namespace PersianDate
{
public partial class PersianDateCo : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime enDate;
string faDate;
string faYear;
string faMonth;
string faDay;
PersianCalendar pc = new PersianCalendar();
faYear = pc.GetYear(enDate).ToString();
faMonth = pc.GetMonth(enDate).ToString();
faDay = pc.GetDayOfMonth(enDate).ToString();
faDate = faYear + "/" + faMonth + "/" + faDay;
lblPersianDate.Text = faDate.ToString();
}
}
}
But what we have done with dotnetnuke. We just change the default.aspx.vb :
we use these namespaces:
Imports System.IO
Imports DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs
Imports DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions
Imports DotNetNuke.UI.Skins
Imports DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Threading
and add below code in page_load
Dim strLang As String = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.ToString()
If strLang = "fa-IR" Then
ChangeCultureToPersian()
End If
and this function:
Public Shared Sub ChangeCultureToPersian()
Dim calture As New CultureInfo("fa-IR")
Dim info As DateTimeFormatInfo = calture.DateTimeFormat
info.AbbreviatedDayNames = New String() {"ى", "د", "س", "چ", "پ", "ج", "ش"}
info.DayNames = New String() {"يکشنبه", "دوشنبه", "سه شنبه", "چهارشنبه", "پنجشنبه", "جمعه", "شنبه"}
info.AbbreviatedMonthNames = New String() {"فروردين", "ارديبهشت", "خرداد", "تير", "مرداد", "شهريور", "مهر", "آبان", "آذر", "دي", "بهمن", "اسفند", ""}
info.MonthNames = New String() {"فروردين", "ارديبهشت", "خرداد", "تير", "مرداد", "شهريور", "مهر", "آبان", "آذر", "دي", "بهمن", "اسفند", ""}
info.AMDesignator = "ق.ظ"
info.PMDesignator = "ب.ظ"
info.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"
info.FirstDayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday
Dim PersianCal As New PersianCalendar
GetType(DateTimeFormatInfo).GetField("calendar", (BindingFlags.NonPublic Or (BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance))).SetValue(info, PersianCal)
Dim obj As Object = GetType(DateTimeFormatInfo).GetField("m_cultureTableRecord", (BindingFlags.NonPublic Or (BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance))).GetValue(info)
obj.GetType.GetMethod("UseCurrentCalendar", (BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.Instance)).Invoke(obj, New Object() {PersianCal.GetType.GetProperty("ID", (BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.Instance)).GetValue(PersianCal, Nothing)})
GetType(CultureInfo).GetField("calendar", (BindingFlags.NonPublic Or (BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance))).SetValue(calture, PersianCal)
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = calture
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = calture
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat = info
CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat = info
End Sub
This method should change the Date to persian in any place. In ventrian news article module in two place the date change to persian correctly but in the main view as Mehran told, still stay in gregorian date. It seems the codes for date which is used within differenet part of this module are not the same. Because the date in 2 of them are converted easily and in right way but others remain as before in gregorian date. |
