where does cumulus get this format of date display with space after dot? 3. 12. 2023.

i have already edited locale files and regenerated locales on raspbery, but no luck...

There is a setting for this problem: Program Settings=>Culture Over-rides=> tick 'Remove space character from date separators (if present)'

(and the space comes from the official locale time format for Slovenia)

[vpokroglo]

Yes I know this setting, but it only affects log files and dayfile file. I want to remove space in today.ini file, where Program Settings=>Culture Over-rides=> tick 'Remove space character from date separators (if present)' setting doesn't have effect.

I see. Well, that would be a request I suppose

Or switch to using a locale that uses just a dot separator? I'm not sure why you would be really concerned with the contents of the ini files though.

If I switch to another locale, what I have already tried in the past, I get many other problems, the biggest is month names. I am concerned about ini files, because I use Saratoga template... The root problem is: viewtopic.php?t=21624

I think that data is coming from the CUtags.php file not the ini files. The CUtags.php file contains web tags that MX processes, so you could change the date format on all the date web tags - a real pain I know.

Adding the parameter for either date, or date/time ->

Code: Select all

format="dd'.'MM'.'yyy"
format="dd'.'MM'.'yyy hh:mm:ss"

But I can also think about extending the remove space locale dates option in future release to cover web tag output as well.

[mcrossley]

OK, I have reviewed the code and the intention of that Program setting was to change the format everywhere, but it is only changing it for some circumstances and not others.

The si_Sl locale defines the following formats that involve the ". " separator...

Code: Select all

    FullDateTimePattern: "dddd, dd. MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"
    LongDatePattern: "dddd, dd. MMMM yyyy"
    MonthDayPattern: "d. MMMM"
    ShortDatePattern: "d. MM. yyyy"

I'll change the ShortDatePattern to "d.MM.yyyy" so the default web tag date formats work, but would you change any of the others?

[vpokroglo]

For now, I have noticed issues only with ShortDatePattern: "d. MM. yyyy".

[mcrossley]

Thanks, that is what I thought This is now fixed for the next release.

[vpokroglo]

I have installed the new release today, but I get error when checking remove space in culture options...
