Hi,
we are usng keyword modifiers to present a date. Unfortunately, the modifier is somehow reading the metadata to be in American format.



Modifiers being used:

• %asset_metadata_event_start^date_format:M%

• %asset_metadata_event_start^date_format:d%

• %asset_metadata_event_start^date_format:l jS M Y h%:%asset_metadata_event_start^date_format:ia%



Which convert to:

• FEB

• 08

• Wednesday 8th Feb 2012 12:00am





I’ve set the event_start metadata field to 02/08/2012 00:00:00, which is displayed as 2 Aug 2012 00 00 00 in the metadata.

The metadata date field display format is currently set as d/m/Y H:i:s



Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong?

Hi Troyl,


Try changing your metadata display format to: Y-m-d H:i:s



You'll probably then to re-generate the metadata files (option on main metadata schema details screen) to cascade that change through your pages.

Thanks Charlie, thats fixed it. I did read this in another post but forgot to regenerate the meadata files, hence why it wasn't working.
Thanks again.
