Date Format (Characters Table)

Greetings Guys,
Today I wish to show you something about Data Formats using in Flynax Software.

The standard date format in USA is: 12.25.2008 (Month.Day.Year), but in Russia the date format has differ view: 25.12.2008
That why using Flynax Software you may set the different view of the date format for each language.

Using example:
%b %d,%Y - Jun 5, 2008
%d.%m.%Y - 25.07.2008

To edit date format in Flynax Software follow to:
- Go to Admin Panel > Languages
- click on "Edit" of necessary language
- edit value in "Date format" field
- save chabges

Please use the following characters table for configure your view of date format:

HI Elena, I have problem setting the date & time.. if i follow table given,
%b %d,%Y %I:%M %p this will be the result: 20Jan,2011 Jan P..
If i need to set for 20Jan,2011 14:22:23 (date | month | Year | hour(24):min:sec) what would be the correct format.. ( I have tried some such as : %X %x | %I etc.. it seems like is not working well ) Regards

HI Guys; i manage to come out with some format combination, if you need any reference about the data and time format.. you can refer to these for example:

{DATE_COOKIE} %l, %d-%M-%y %H:%i:%s UTC Sunday, 16-Oct-11 08:15:44 UTC
{DATE_ISO8601} %Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%s%Q 2011-10-16T08:15:44-05:00
{DATE_RFC822} %D, %d %M %y %H:%i:%s %O Sun, 16 Oct 11 08:15:44 -0500
{DATE_RFC850} %l, %d-%M-%y %H:%m:%i UTC Sunday, 16-Oct-11 08:10:19 UTC
{DATE_RFC1036} %D, %d %M %y %H:%i:%s %O Sun, 16 Oct 11 08:15:44 -0500
