As designed Date format for "Joined" and "Birthday"
- Thread starter twollert
- Start date
Is that format supported by the PHP date function?
I don't see it listed here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
Edit: Ah yes, it's shown in the examples:
Although interestingly, it lists "d" as 2 digits with leading zeros, which your example doesn't have.
Have you tried using "j." ?

"d. F Y" is working well in all other areas of the forum, e.g.:
Only in the field "Birthday" (without the year!) the format isn't correct. So, I think it's a XenForo bug.
Sorry, that was my mistake. I edited my original post.

What won't work? We return a localized version of date('F j'), so it will respond to translation - where's the serious limitation there?Sorry, but this won't work in many parts of the world and in 2011 we call this a bug

Can you explain this part, please? (Is there a phrase "F j" which I can change to "d. F"?)
It's just the internal reference for "birthday" date types. You can explicitly override the type in the template, if it's that significant.
Kier was trying to get more info on the underlying problem. While we could expose this as a format type, it's for one place in the entire application. We try to avoid that. It may not be ideal, but is the current format acceptable?
