Subject: RE: [Koha-devel] [Bug 169]
dateformat not used anywhere
Just a minor nit. I've never actually come across dd/mm/yy
called metric before. I have heard it referred to as "military" because
apparently the US military use it, and I have heard it called European (that's
what Pick calls it) because it's used in every European country I know of
apart from that Scandinavian one I can't remember that uses ISO.
And I would think "metric" definitely is the wrong name for
it, because that is generally taken to mean "use a scale of 10 for
measurement", which dates certainly don't!
Cheers,
Wol

OK, here is the deal. I
created a module C4::Date which should be used by all
scripts that deal with dates. Right now, it accepts 3 date
formats:
1: us -
"mm/dd/yyyy"
2: metric -
"dd/mm/yyyy"
3: iso -
"yyyy-mm-dd"
The modules provides two functions:
1: display_date_format() which will
return a string like "dd/mm/yyyy"
depending on what
dateformat is set to
2:
format_date($date) which accepts a date as a string and will return it
in the proper format
Now, we need to update all the various scripts to use these
functions so that
dates are in a consistent format
throughout Koha.
