.....will give you this: Thu Oct 01 2015 ......If you're in Alaskan Daylight Time like me. :) Adjust the first number (42) to subtract the correct number of characters for your time zone. -Holly -----Original Message----- From: Open-ils-general [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Jason Etheridge Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2015 1:46 PM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt template date formats? One option is to use the Library Setting, "Format Dates with this pattern", but it's a sledgehammer that would affect almost every displayed date in the staff client. The codes for this are better documented here: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/dojo/date/locale/format.html You'd want four consequtive capital E's. For example, "EEEE, MMM d, yyyy" in that setting would give you dates like "Thursday, Oct 1, 2015" -- Jason Etheridge | Community and Migration Manager | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
