Change date format in Calendar Weekly View was created by Tess

Hello-
I would like to change the way the date is displayed when clicking the "Weekly View" button from the big calendar. Currently it reads as
Sunday. 21 May, 2017 and I would like to change it to read Sunday, May 21, 2017, but I don't know what file to override to make that change.

thanks for your help

This is hard-coded into /components/com_eventbooking/view/calendar/tmpl/weekly.php

Search for the line of code that reads:

Code:

echo $daysInWeek[date('w', $startWeekTime)].'. '.date('d', $startWeekTime).' '.$monthsInYear[date('n', $startWeekTime)].', '.date('Y', $startWeekTime).' - '.$daysInWeek[date('w', $endWeekTime)].'. '.date('d', $endWeekTime).' '.$monthsInYear[date('n', $endWeekTime)].', '.date('Y', $endWeekTime) ;

and replace with:

Code:

echo $daysInWeek[date('w', $startWeekTime)].', '.date('d', $startWeekTime).' '.$monthsInYear[date('n', $startWeekTime)].', '.date('Y', $startWeekTime).' - '.$daysInWeek[date('w', $endWeekTime)].', '.date('d', $endWeekTime).' '.$monthsInYear[date('n', $endWeekTime)].', '.date('Y', $endWeekTime) ;

Save the file as a template override so that this change isn't lost on update (save the file to /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/calendar/weekly.php (as per "override" Joomla documentation )

@Tuan -- this might be a candidate for either correction in the core release (a comma should be used, not a period), or should be configurable either in Configuration or Translation.

Thanks James.

Busy working on some architecture / structure changes for version 3.0.0 and will review this one later. If you ever have suggestions to improve it, please help posting issues on Events Booking repo so that we can work on it and get things improved for 3.0.0

Regards,

Tuan
