How to use 2 format of date ?

Hi,

I have a problem with the format of date.

I use a foreign format of date for date_days_short and date_month_short.
But, I must also use the english format.

My question :

It is possible to obtain the English format without modifying the configuration of date_days_short and date_month_short ?
I would like to obtain for add_date : Wed, Oct. 02 2002 13:00: 00 GMT

Thanks for your assistance.

Mick

Sorry, not 100% sure what you are asking for?

Youi want 2 date formats ? (as globals)

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Currently, I obtain with my configuration of date : Jeu, Jan 29 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Code:
<%GT::Date::date_transform($Mod_Date, '%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%', '%ddd%, %dd% %mmm% %yyyy% %HH%:%MM%:%ss%')%> GMT

But, I would like to obtain it in English : Thur, Jan 29 2009 00:00:00 GMT

And, I do not want to modify my configuration in Setup > Date Options > date_days_short and date_month_short.

You think that it is possible with a global ?

Thanks,

Mick

Try this (not pretty, but should do what you want)

change_eng_day

Code:
sub { 
    my $in = $_[0]; 
   $in =~ s/\QJeu/Thur/; 
   $in =~ s/\QVend/Fri/; 
 # for each day, just add another one of the above, I'm not good with french, so the above 1 may need editing :P 
   return $in; 
}

Then call with:

Code:
<%set day_transformed = GT::Date::date_transform($Mod_Date, '%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%', '%ddd%, %dd% %mmm% %yyyy% %HH%:%MM%:%ss%')%> 
<%change_eng_day($day_transformed)%> GMT

Untested, but can't see why it wouldn't work :)
