Date format at category level

We have a japanese category and the users in that category want the date format in all posts as 'yyyy-mm-dd' 

 

I see an admin setting which is at global level but not at the individual category level, can this be enabled at category level?

  • tsrisudh: It is not supported by Lithium at Category Level. We can only control at the Community Level.

  • tsrisudh - Since there is a locale (Japanese) involved here which makes it very important to have a particular task done to make sense to the Japanese users, I would suggest you look for an option to customize the dates format inside the Japan community (category) since this is not feasible OOTB.

     

    I hope this helps.

    How do we customize OOB components per language or per category?

    tsrisudh - You would have to make the custom components and place them on the same page in the studio and have your code wrapped in an If statement.

     

    <#if locale == "JA">

          // date format is different

    </#if>

     

    Make sure you remove default date format using the CSS. So when inside this condition, original date will be hidden and this will appear.

     

    I hope this helps.
