Hi,

(Sorry for asking on this list, but my messages are rejected from DBIC mailing list.)

Is it possible to set the locale for a certain date field if DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime is used when using that date, and not in the class definition?

I don't think it is OK to hard code the locale for a certain column in the class definition, because the data from that column might be presented in different languages, for different locales.

In the POD documentation of DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime I've learned how to set the locale for the date columns, but only by setting it in the class definition.

I've tried to set it when I used it, like

$class->date_field->month_name(locale => 'ro_RO')
or
$class->date_field->month_name({locale => 'ro_RO'})

with no luck, of course.

Thank you for any hints.

IMHO this is something the view should handle. The model's output should stay the same regardless of which locale the user has.

What view classes are you using? I usually write a TT macro which sets the locale and/or timezone to the user's preferences.

I found that I can use

$class_name->date_field->set_locale('ro')->month_name

I found that the last version of the Catalyst DBIC::Schema helper adds InflateColumn::DateTime component by default, and until now I was using a raw date like

[% row.date %]

and it printed a date like 2009-04-24.

Now it prints it as 2009-04-24T00:00:00.

I wanted to correct this and this is how I became interested about also localizing the dates.

Thanks.

Octavian
