Hello,

I am not able to let the newsfeed module use the locale I want (italian) for dates formatting: can anybody tell what am I missing?

• I configured my DNN host (04.08.04) with only one language, italian, enabled
• I disabled browser language detection at host and site level (under Language)
• I configured italian as preferred language at site level
• I configured italian as user preferred language for all of my users
• I modified web.config putting culture="it-IT" uiCulture="it" for globalizzation

My RSS feed is an internally generated feed for a module of mine (using GetSearchItems), and looks pretty good: when I open the feed by clicking on the orange icon, thus opening the feed with the browser facility, both Firefox and IE correctly format all of the dates in italian, even if when I look at the XML source all pubDate tags are in English. Everything ok, isn't it?

However, when I use a newsfeed module (04.00.01) to parse that feed, dates are shown in English. I tried modifying the xsl to show the value of the Locale parameter, but it looks like it's empty.
Am I missing something? Or should I manually format my dates, manipulating pubDates as strings?

Thanks for any help,

al.

Sebastian,

thank you for explaining me: that "locale" parameter on the stylesheet made me think it was possible to automatically format dates. Maybe such a feature (formatting dates) would be later implemented?

Regards,

al.
