[Solved] Request: use the ISO Date Format in the WebUI

[ljm42]

Notifications in the WebUI display dates in the dd-mm-yyyy format which makes a date like 05-12-2017 confusing. Is it May 12 or Dec 5?  This affects the popup notifications as well as the Tools -> Archived Notifications page in both 6.3 and 6.4

 

Can we please change this to the ISO date format of 2017-05-12 (yyyy-mm-dd)?  According to the W3 that is the best date format to use on the web:
  https://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/iso-date 

 

This would be consistent with the date used in the parity check history popup.  Most other places in the WebUI have room to write the date out longform so there is no confusion:

Last check completed on Saturday, December 2, 2017, 06:24 AM (thirteen days ago), finding 0 errors.

thanks!

You can set the date and time format under notification settings.

And just like that it is solved 

 

Sorry, I looked under Settings -> Date and Time, but it didn't occur to me to look under Settings -> Notifications.  Thanks @bonienl !

That's a bit like the revelation I had when I realised I could change the forum timezone....

OK I'm going to have to ask, where is that setting?  I've been searching for 10 mins and can't find it. I think you've sent me on a wild goose chase

Err.... I can tell you where on the old forum, but can't find the setting on the new one.

Timezones are automatically set for each individual user in IPS4, based on their local system time. No setting needed.

He caught me with that one too.  Where's a wet noodle when you need one?

[ljm42]

LOL.  Well at least we learned some things in this thread

 

But seriously, automatically setting the time zone is a pretty cool feature.

Yep, sorry about the wild goose chase!
