Date format/region

[mikedufty]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the calendar to display dates in day/month/year format?
Not having any luck with searching, mine are all displaying in USA format.

I got this answer by using Claude Code. Please verify.

Changing Date Format in LibreBooking

The question asks how to change the calendar to display dates in day/month/year format instead of USA format.

Solution: Change Default Language Setting

The easiest solution is to change the default language in your configuration:

1. Edit your config file (config/config.php):

   $conf['settings']['default.language'] = 'en_gb';

This changes from US format (m/d/Y = 12/31/2023) to British format (d/m/Y = 31/12/2023).

Alternative Languages with DD/MM/YYYY Format

You can also use other languages that use day/month/year format:

• en_gb - British English (DD/MM/YYYY)
• de_de - German (DD.MM.YYYY)
• fr_fr - French (DD/MM/YYYY)
• Most European languages follow DD/MM/YYYY format

File Locations

The date formats are defined in:

• US format: lang/en_us.php - uses m/d/Y
• British format: lang/en_gb.php - uses d/m/Y
• Configuration: config/config.php - set default.language

After changing the configuration, clear any template cache and the calendar should display dates in day/month/year format.

I just checked and Default language is set to en_gb already.
Went to test anyway and the dates are displaying correctly. Only thing I changed in the config file was the title display for resource calendar. I wonder if it was just wrong from a fresh install and resolved itself?

Well I'm glad it is working! 🥳
