Sorry, I have asked this before, & carried out the suggestion, without success.
I can't find a way to make my DNN site use British dates, & as American dates look just like British dates for just under half of each month, this is going to be a showstopper, as the users will not be able to cope with dates around the wrong way.
In case anyone is unfamiliar with British dates, British dates are formatted like this: 15/10/2006 = 15th October 2006 as opposed to American dates which are formatted like this: 10/15/2006 = October 15, 2006.
Of course, it is only when displayed only as numbers (e.g. 15/10/2006) that it really matters, as for just over half of each month, there's no way of telling from the data which format it is in.
I've tried changing the ASP.Net Globalization settings, although that seemed to make no difference at all:
<!-- GLOBALIZATION
This section sets the globalization settings of the application.
Utf-8 is not supported on Netscape 4.x
If you need netscape compatiblity leave iso-8859-1.
UTF-8 is recommended for complex languages
-->
<globalization culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-gb" requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" fileEncoding="UTF-8" />
<!--<globalization culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-gb" fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" requestEncoding="iso-8859-1" responseEncoding="iso-8859-1"/>-->
I was under the impression that DNN used ASP.Net's underlying settings for globalisation, & that en-GB was the correct setting for British settings, but this seems not to be the case.
So can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks,
