Date format

[Arunas]

We publish the datetime type attributes in webpages , The current date format is MM/DD/YYYY , How to change this format in descriptor to show DD/MM/YYYY ?

Hello

I assume the date value is related to a HOPEX MetaAttribute.

As far as I know, there is no standard feature to control the format in descriptors.

It is possible to write custom code to control format according to descriptor type

• RTF descriptor: you can use a RTF macro if you are in DOC mode (old generation mode available only with Windows Front-End). This is NOT supported for RTF/DOCX mode (new mode required for Web Front-End)
• Code/HTML descriptor: you can call a macro using tag ExternalCall. See KB 00002635

Another solution is to build a computed MetaAttribute and customize the format of a datetime MetaAttribute. See KB 00000662

Hi there,

You can simply change the windows date format to DD/MM/YYYY on the computer/server you use to generate your website.

Best regards,
Christoph

You can also set the date format for the entire repository by setting the date format on Language object. There is a Kb description of how to do this.
