Wrong posting date language

gerhard01 · 2008-03-07 09:05:17

My posting dates are displayed in English, though German is the chosen local language.

Trying the solutions provided in the FAQ did not help either.

The funny think is that on another TXP installation with the same host environment, the posting dates are correctly displayed in German. The only difference between the 2 installation is that the one that displays dates in the wrong locale has started out with TXP 4.0.4 and has sequentially been updated to TXP 4.0.6. The one with the correct date language still runs on a fresh installation of TXP 4.0.5.

This would be why:

Regionale Einstellungen: C

You might be at the same host, but it appears that your host doesn’t have the German locales available on that specific server, does not have them installed correctly, or is using a locale name we aren’t aware of.

Here is the list of locales Textpattern will try to use if you have German set as your language:

de_DE.UTF-8
de_DE
de
deu
german
de_DE.ISO_8859-1

If none of these work, then it falls back to whatever default the machine is using.

PHP Manual: setlocale

So, contact your host and ask them about it. If they’re using some other locale name, then we’d need to add it to the list for Txp to check.

gerhard01 · 2008-03-10 14:35:18

This is my host’s answer:

Please use the function setlocale(). For example, you can use

de_AT or

de_AT.UTF-8
as German locale.

Edit: and in a second answer they write:

… but you are free to also use de_DE.UTF-8 oder de_DE (ISO-8859-1 variant)

So I am puzzled again …

Put this in your page template, then visit a page that uses that template. Viewing the source of that page should show the results of the locale test. If a locale shows up as FALSE, then it’s not installed on the server or locale functionality is not enabled on the server:

<txp:php>
echo '<!-- LOCALE TEST'."\n";
foreach(array('de_AT', 'de_AT.UTF-8', 'de_DE.UTF-8', 'de_DE') as $locale)
{
  echo "setlocale(LC_ALL, '$locale') :". var_dump(setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale) . "\n";
}
echo '-->';
</txp:php>

This is what I get:

<!-- LOCALE TEST
bool(false)
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_AT') :
string(11) "de_AT.UTF-8"
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_AT.UTF-8') :
string(11) "de_DE.UTF-8"
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8') :
string(5) "de_DE"
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE') :
-->

Replacing all occurences of

<txp:posted format="%d. %B %Y" />

with

<txp:php>
global $locale;
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');
echo posted(array('format' => '%d. %B %Y'));
setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale);
</txp:php>

did the job.

Thanks!
