missing 'am' 'pm' strings in locale?

Hi,

I just noticed that in the ?event=discuss page, all the times were less that 12:00… I checked the source and I saw that it is using a 12 hour clock format (which I dislike but that’s my own problem).

The point is that although it is pretty clear in the source that there should be a trailing am/pm string attached to the time, I don’t see it.

I went to the language administration page (?event=prefs&step=list_languages), and set the active language to English (it was set in Spanish), and voilá, the AM/PM indicators appeared.

I read http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php and it says:

%p – either `am’ or `pm’ according to the given time value, or the corresponding strings for the current locale

so I think that whatever the ‘current locale’ is set for Spanish, it doesn’t have these strings set at all…

Is this a Textpattern problem? A PHP problem? or an OS problem?

FWIW, I’m running apache 2 under fedora… but I don’t have access to much of it since it is a chrooted virtual server (I do have access to php.ini and to .htaccess files, though).

I don’t even know if I should post here, in troubleshooting or in ‘how do I’ section… if misposted, please redirect me.

TIA

PHP (perhaps in conjunction with your OS). Apparently the Spanish locale doesn’t include that info. :/

You don’t have to use 12 hour clock though.

Mmmmhhh, however, at least in the <code>?event=discuss</code> page, this seems to be hardwired in the source… I manually patched this, but I don’t see a configurable way of doing it…

Oh, duh, I missed that you were talking about the admin date. :D
