How to change date format?

Hi everyone!

Is there an easy solution to change Date and DateTime format?
In fact, i have to change format without switching the locale in settings. And i didnt found anything that looks like settings for date/datetime formatter in LocaleBundle configuration class.

Hi,

Which format do you need? Are you following this?

Hi Stepan,

Do you want to make changes in the date/time formatting on the system/org level, or apply them to a specific fields only? Please tell us more about your use cases.

Thank you.

Oro guys help please!I have the same problem, I want change date/time format for all system. Can you help with it.

[Artem LiubeznyiSpectator]

Sure. Same question for you though: Can you please specify, what format you are trying to change exactly? Normally, the date & time format of an organization depends on its configured locale; please refer to our user guide to learn how to change it.

Yes, I found solution several month ago, afternoon i will post it here. In summary – i extended Formatter and use new class in formatter service

Hi Oro guys.I need the format “d.m.Y H:i:s”.
@Stepan, Can you share with me your solution please?

Sorry for delay, i was really busy last quarter.
My task was to define only one DateTime format for any locale choosed Oro in settings.
This solution is little dirty but works)

0. I created my own LocaleBundle

1. I extended DateTimeFormatter (see parent class and bundle for explanation)

<?php /** * Created by PhpStorm. * User: Stepan Yudin * Date: 11.11.2015 * Time: 13:29 */ namespace Override\LocaleBundle\Formatter; use Oro\Bundle\LocaleBundle\Formatter\DateTimeFormatter; /** * Class OQDateTimeFormatter * This class overrides stanndart Oro datetime formatter, forces locale to null and define custom pattern * @package Override\LocaleBundle\Formatter */ class OQDateTimeFormatter extends DateTimeFormatter { const OQ_DATE_PATTERN = "dd.MM.yyyy"; const OQ_TIME_PATTERN = "HH:mm:ss"; const OQ_DATETIME_PATTERN = "dd.MM.yyyy в HH:mm:ss"; /** * @inheritdoc */ public function formatDate($date, $dateType = null, $locale = null, $timeZone = null) { return $this->format($date, $dateType, \IntlDateFormatter::NONE, null, $timeZone, self::OQ_DATE_PATTERN); } /** * @inheritdoc */ public function formatTime($date, $timeType = null, $locale = null, $timeZone = null) { return $this->format($date, \IntlDateFormatter::NONE, $timeType, null, $timeZone, self::OQ_TIME_PATTERN); } /** * @inheritdoc */ public function format($date, $dateType = null, $timeType = null, $locale = null, $timeZone = null, $pattern = null) { if (!$timeZone) { $timeZone = $this->localeSettings->getTimeZone(); } $dateTime = $this->getDateTime($date); if (null === $pattern) { $pattern = self::OQ_DATETIME_PATTERN; } // use Formatter if we have DateTime object and return the incoming argument otherwise if ($dateTime) { $formatter = $this->getFormatter($dateType, $timeType, null, $timeZone, $pattern); return $formatter->format((int)$dateTime->format('U')); } return $date; } /** * @inheritdoc */ public function getPattern($dateType, $timeType, $locale = null) { $locale = null; if (null === $dateType) { $dateType = static::DEFAULT_DATE_TYPE; } if (null === $timeType) { $timeType = static::DEFAULT_TIME_TYPE; } $pattern = self::OQ_DATETIME_PATTERN; if ($dateType == \IntlDateFormatter::NONE) { $pattern = self::OQ_TIME_PATTERN; } if ($timeType == \IntlDateFormatter::NONE) { $pattern = self::OQ_DATE_PATTERN; } $dateType = $this->parseDateType($dateType); $timeType = $this->parseDateType($timeType); $localeFormatter = new \IntlDateFormatter($locale, $dateType, $timeType, null, \IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN, $pattern); return $localeFormatter->getPattern(); } }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97

<?php /** * Created by PhpStorm. * User: Stepan Yudin * Date: 11.11.2015 * Time: 13:29 */   namespace Override\LocaleBundle\Formatter;   use Oro\Bundle\LocaleBundle\Formatter\DateTimeFormatter;   /** * Class OQDateTimeFormatter * This class overrides stanndart Oro datetime formatter, forces locale to null and define custom pattern * @package Override\LocaleBundle\Formatter */ class OQDateTimeFormatter extends DateTimeFormatter {       const OQ_DATE_PATTERN = "dd.MM.yyyy";     const OQ_TIME_PATTERN = "HH:mm:ss";     const OQ_DATETIME_PATTERN = "dd.MM.yyyy в HH:mm:ss";       /**      * @inheritdoc      */     public function formatDate($date, $dateType = null, $locale = null, $timeZone = null)     {         return $this->format($date, $dateType, \IntlDateFormatter::NONE, null, $timeZone, self::OQ_DATE_PATTERN);     }       /**      * @inheritdoc      */     public function formatTime($date, $timeType = null, $locale = null, $timeZone = null)     {         return $this->format($date, \IntlDateFormatter::NONE, $timeType, null, $timeZone, self::OQ_TIME_PATTERN);     }       /**      * @inheritdoc      */     public function format($date, $dateType = null, $timeType = null, $locale = null, $timeZone = null, $pattern = null)     {         if (!$timeZone) {             $timeZone = $this->localeSettings->getTimeZone();         }         $dateTime = $this->getDateTime($date);           if (null === $pattern) {             $pattern = self::OQ_DATETIME_PATTERN;         }           // use Formatter if we have DateTime object and return the incoming argument otherwise         if ($dateTime) {             $formatter = $this->getFormatter($dateType, $timeType, null, $timeZone, $pattern);             return $formatter->format((int)$dateTime->format('U'));         }         return $date;     }       /**      * @inheritdoc      */     public function getPattern($dateType, $timeType, $locale = null)     {         $locale = null;           if (null === $dateType) {             $dateType = static::DEFAULT_DATE_TYPE;         }           if (null === $timeType) {             $timeType = static::DEFAULT_TIME_TYPE;         }           $pattern = self::OQ_DATETIME_PATTERN;           if ($dateType == \IntlDateFormatter::NONE) {             $pattern = self::OQ_TIME_PATTERN;         }           if ($timeType == \IntlDateFormatter::NONE) {             $pattern = self::OQ_DATE_PATTERN;         }           $dateType = $this->parseDateType($dateType);         $timeType = $this->parseDateType($timeType);           $localeFormatter = new \IntlDateFormatter($locale, $dateType, $timeType, null, \IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN, $pattern);         return $localeFormatter->getPattern();     }   }

2. I replaced DateTimeFormatter class in my bundle services.yml with my new OQDateTimeFormatter class:

parameters: oro_locale.formatter.date_time.class: Override\LocaleBundle\Formatter\OQDateTimeFormatter

1 2 3 4

parameters:   oro_locale.formatter.date_time.class: Override\LocaleBundle\Formatter\OQDateTimeFormatter

And dont forget to clear all caches and dump all JS (because there are dependencies with moment.js)
