Change date display format from YY to YYYY

[john.m...@dcalni.gov.uk]

Hi,

 

Am new to Resourcespace and am implimenting a demonstration system for our organisation.

 

We have images relationg to items from early in the last century, and have configured the system to take the item date from the metadata into the date field, but cannot figure where to reconfigure the date display to show the century.

 

Anyone able to point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks,

 

John

Figured it out myself - if anyone is interested, the date field had value filter which used the nicedate() function which I found in db.php. This was set to return the two digit substring of the year, so I amended it to return the whole year, which is what we need.

Thanks for posting this - was looking to do the same in our installation.

Thank you, worked fine for me. If anyone else want to change this, just replace line 747 in includes/db.php with:

    return $d . " " . $m . " " . $y . $t;

It's not a good idea to edit include/db.php directly because your changes will be overwritten if/when you upgrade your installation. Instead, you can copy

function nicedate() { ... }

from include/db.php and paste it in to your include/config.php file and make any changes there. Now your customized date function won't be wiped out when Resource Space is updated.

Hope that helps!

I can't seem to get this working. Can you please share the exact code you used in config.php to display four digit year? Thank you.
