Hi Wiktor, hi Tom,
in OTRS 1.1 and higher the time format is configurable in the translation file.
[Kernel/Language/de.pm] # date formats (%A=WeekDay;%B=LongMonth;%T=Time;%D=Day;%M=Month;%Y=Jear;) $Self->{DateFormat} = '%D.%M.%Y %T'; $Self->{DateFormatLong} = '%A %D %B %T %Y'; $Self->{DateInputFormat} = '%D.%M.%Y - %T'; [...]
[Kernel/Language/en.pm] $Self->{DateFormat} = '%M/%D/%Y %T'; $Self->{DateFormatLong} = '%A %B %D %T %Y'; $Self->{DateInputFormat} = '%M/%D/%Y - %T'; [...]
So it should be shown in the selected frontend language format.
Just the database time format should be "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss". And shown is the time format from the translation file format.
Any better ideas?
Yes, the date/time format should be configurable to a user, I mean each user should have their own preference of how time and date is represented in teh system Imagine an american and a Swede working on the same system but at different places in the world, the american in america, and the swede in sweden. using the same otrs somplace on the net. they both have different locales but the system locale ( as now ) defines the date/time format .Thus this is an issue which should be configurable as a user property.
Which raises a new question:if the date/time property is a property of the user, then the language is too. Suggestion:make locale a property of the user, not the system. Regards Greger

I would vote for a configurable format. As far as I know OTRS is used in a lot of different countries using their own date format so it is kind of strange to enforce one format upon all users.

Hello,
I noted that time is represented in very different formats across the OTRS. Once we have YYYY/MM/DD, the other time YYYY/DD/MM and then we have classical DD.MM.YYYY and so on. I think this needs some harmonization. What do we vote for? Configurable or not? My favourite (I'm not an american, so...) is DD.MM.YYYY
