Change Date Formatting in Publish Form

Stoyan Vasilev 20 Feb 2015 21:28 question, complete

Hey,

A client just asked us if we can change the time formatting from 24 hour format (ie 23:00) to rendering time in an AM/PM format (ie 11pm) in the Publish form for Low Events fields.

Is this possible? Some of the people who use the back-end are pretty adamant that "military time" is hard to understand by Americans. :)

Thank you.

   Yes. To quote the docs: The time is shown in either a 12-hour or 24-hour clock, depending on the site’s default time formatting setting.

   Thanks for the quick response.
   
   We have the localization settings for "Default Time Formatting" set to United States and when the page first loads the times are shown in am/pm format... then when JS loads and is applied they switch to the 24 hour format (ex. 23:00).
   
   Thanks.

   What are your EE and LE versions?

   EE: 2.7.0
   LE: 1.3.0
   
   Thanks.

   Can you update LE to the latest version and see if it persists?

   Hey,
   
   I think upgrading did the trick. We will let you know if we need anything else.
   
   Thanks.

   Hi,
   
   The upgrade is causing one of our pages to show the following error:
   
   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Low_events_model in ...\expressionengine\third_party\_low_events\libraries\Low_events_model.php on line 339
   
   How should we proceed?

   This is better suited as a separate issue and thread.
   
   Please reference the new conversation here: Getting a Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Low_events_model in LE 1.4.1
