Date Format

I'm currently looking at this software, and as a retailer in the UK need to change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to UK format dd/mm/yyyy

is there any way of doing this?

Hi Nick
I know your posting was a long time ago but I was wondering if you resolved your issue and if you are still using 3D Cart.

I too am a UK user of 3D Cart. I have the same issue and want to use this cart with Stone Edge Order Manger. 3D have offered to do some custom coding for me, for a charge.

Do you use a back end order manager system?

Cheers

Hi guys,

I'm from New Zealand and recently put 3dcart through it's paces and have the same issue. We use date format dd/mm/yyyy also.

Let me know if you find out how to change it!

Hi there

Good to meet other non-US cart users as we seem to be the only ones with this need.

I've got to say that this is an issue for a support ticket. Ask the question and see what they say.

We've had the date format changed away from US-format when we switched to a dedicated server hosted in the UK.

There are a few minor issues we have to work with, but this is more to do with the fact we changed format part-way through the year and any date-dependant data gets a bit confused when pulling reports or sales information off. Once we roll into 2010, this will cease to be a problem for us.

Best of luck!

Hi guys - we've got an answer now.

We have a number of carts and they're all targeted at the UK and Europe. Like other non-US cart owners, we have to provide our invoices in UK date format to comply with tax requirements.

3dCart can custom code it for us, for a price.

Just thought this was interesting: the rest of the world seems to use dd/mm/yyyy. Wouldn't it be a good idea if 3dCart had an option in the main cart options to present dates in dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy for invoicing?

We also have this problem with date format and weight format.
date being from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY and weight being
from lbs to kg

We have been in contact with 3dcart about it and they told us
that the best they could do was to delete it for a price.

Surely the date format can be changed.

Anyone any idea's


Thanks,

I think you have your response and it's directly from 3dcart.

Hi Mark,


Yes 3dcart told me the only thing they could do is delete it for a price
but if you have a look at the post from tradeplumbing, they have said that
3dcart are going to custom code it for them for a price.

Thats why I was asking.
