The date format should be customizable. In Europe we use the day before the month, so now I have to change by hand every "m/d/Y" to "d/m/y" in every date() function in classifieds.template.php. Also, I change "h:i a" to "H:i" because we don't use "am/pm" in Greece.
The type of format should be in a variable or constant, somewhere.

Also, how can I change the display of time left in the listings index? It shows something like: 107d 4h 21m. I want to change the letters d, h, m.

Good idea.


Second part is found in the Sources/Classifieds.php
Search for countdown

Continuing my thought, after seeing this post: http://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,2958.0.html ...

The problem is that anyone who wants to change the date format has to do these changes everytime Classifieds.template.php is updated (new version), and there are a lot of them changes! (date("m/d/Y appears many times in the script)

One simple thing would be to put the date and time formats in constant variables, at the top of the script.

Added to 1.2.13 of classifieds to allow more customization of the date format.

You have to change the admin listing form too (index.php?action=classifieds;sa=adminlisting) because the date format is hardcoded to m/d/Y. For example:

Code:

<input type="text" name="month1" size="2" value="1" />/<input type="text" name="day1" size="2" value="1" />/<input type="text" name="year1" size="4" value="2007" />
- <input type="text" name="month2" size="2" value="',date("m"),'" />/<input type="text" name="day2" size="2" value="',date("d"),'" />/<input type="text" name="year2" size="4" value="',date("Y"),'" />

Also, the letters 'h', 'm', 's' should be in the language file...

Code:

  if ($days_left > 0)
  {
  echo $days_left . 'd ' . $hours_left  . 'h ' . $minutes_left . 'm';
  }
  else
  {
  if ($hours_left > 0)
  echo $hours_left  . 'h ' . $minutes_left . 'm';
  else
  {
 
  if ($minutes_left > 0)
  echo $minutes_left . 'm ' . $seconds_left . 's';
  else
  {
  if ($seconds_left > 0)
  echo  $seconds_left . 's';
 
  }
  }
  }

Not sure how I want to handle the admin area to change the listings.
Did do the second part
!Date characters for h d m s for countdown timer moved to language file

There is already a "date format" setting in smfclassifieds settings, so, it can be used for the admin listing form too.
