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? -Martin On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 09:34:29PM +0100, Tom Hesp wrote:
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.
Kind regards, Tom Hesp

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
