Hi there,



After upgrading to the latest version....The date on my news has changed to a 24 hour GST. I dont like this and how do i change it back to 12 hours? I could not figure this out after looking through the setting in the server.



Thank you

Check the file cgi-bin/artman/exec/config.ini. Change the lines for time_format and datetime_format to use %I:%M %P (12-hr format) instead of %T or %H:%M (24-hr format).

Previous versions of Article Manager was ignoring these setting and mostly used a 12-hour format.

Hi,

There was an issue with the date format that was corrected in the latest upgrade.

To change the time format from 24 hours to 12 hours, here is what to do to:

1. Open the /exec/config.ini file in a text editor.

2. Find the following lines:

date_format = %b %e, %Y
time_format = %H:%M
datetime_format = %b %o, %Y - %H:%M:%S

3. Change to:

date_format = %b %e, %Y
time_format = %l:%M
datetime_format = %b %o, %Y - %l:%M

4. Save and re-publish all.

That should set time format to 12 hours. Here is a complete list of all the time and date config.ini settings.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
