[SOLVED] Times in 12-Hour vs. 24-Hour on Event Edit

[SOLVED] Times in 12-Hour vs. 24-Hour on Event Edit

I have the times transferring on the front end to 12-Hour format, but would like to know how to set the times on the backend to 12 hour for those adding events. What page within the script do I modify to do this?

Hi rstarkey,

your question surprises me. Normally you only need to change the Time Format string on JEM Settings (Basic or Global tab, don't have a backend yet). This will change the output on all views of JEM component, backend and frontend.
The modules may have their own setting but if it's empty component's setting is used.

Hi Hoffi,

It changes everything on the front end that the customer sees, however it does not change the add event times to 12-hour.

Ah, now I understand. It's not shown time, it's time input using the two dropdown fields. That's also on frontend on Edit event view.

The function to fill the fields is buildtimeselect() located in components/com_jem/helpers/help.php around line 623.
Within the "$timelist[] = ..." lines the first $value must be unchanged but the second is the text shown. So there you can map values from 0..23 to '12 am'..'11 pm' if $max == 23 (because the function is also used for the minutes). The simplest way would be an array

I found where you are talking about...
Code:
static function buildtimeselect($max, $name, $selected, $class = array('class'=>'inputbox')) { $timelist = array(); $timelist[0] = JHtml::_('select.option', '', ''); foreach(range(0, $max) as $value) { if($value >= 10) { $timelist[] = JHtml::_('select.option', $value, $value); } else { $timelist[] = JHtml::_('select.option', '0'.$value, '0'.$value); } } return JHtml::_('select.genericlist', $timelist, $name, $class, 'value', 'text', $selected); }


But not sure what to change, or where. Could you give me a copy and replace set of code that I could use to correct this?

Sure, you could try following:
Code:
static function buildtimeselect($max, $name, $selected, $class = array('class'=>'inputbox')) { $timelist = array(); $timelist[0] = JHtml::_('select.option', '', ''); if ($max == 23) { // does user prefer 12 or 24 hours format? $jemreg = JemConfig::getInstance()->toRegistry(); $timeformat = $jemreg->get('formattime'); $format = preg_match('/%[Ir]/', $timeformat) ? '%I %p' : '%H'; } foreach (range(0, $max) as $value) { if ($value < 10) { $value = '0'.$value; } $timelist[] = JHtml::_('select.option', $value, ($max == 23 ? strftime($format, strtotime("$value:00:00")) : $value)); } return JHtml::_('select.genericlist', $timelist, $name, $class, 'value', 'text', $selected); }


This function now checks Format Time setting to find out if you like 12 or 24 hours format and then shows hours as "00".."23" or "12 AM".."11 PM". Because it respects user's decision I think I will put this code into next JEM version.
