admin/includes/languages/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/<YOUR_LANGUAGE>.php and made my changes there.

It seems to work and I don't know if I'm just being over cautious or not.

Template override system is not currently available for the Admin section so you need to make changes to the /admin/includes/languages/<YOUR-LANGUAGE>.php file. If you copy this file into /admin/includes/languages/<YOUR-TEMPLATE>/<YOUR-LANGUAGE>.php it will have no effect on your store.

I also wanted to say thankyou to the wonderful people in here to take their time to help others.

I have managed to change most of my dates over too (Im in Australia & therefore wanted the 'UK' format).

They are all working wonderful. The only ones I have found that have not changed are the dates that Coupons expire. My customers get a message that this coupon expirse on ... and the date is US format.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Phil your a bloody legend :smartalec:

That's because there are hundreds of other files still with Y-m-d format. I would leave it alone as it might have some thing to do with Mysql dates or external things like currency etc might get affected.

The only sure way of doing is to replace them in the files you see its not correct.

I am really sorry but it isn't working for me. I have redone it a few times and I don't have a CUSTOM file inmy admin section so I don't know why it is.

And I am working on my site offline so I can't link to it.

NVM, I redid it all again and it worked. Than you so much.

Excellent info Phil, Thanks, much appreciated. :cool::clap:

PS. Message To all zenners... I bought the Zen Book and it has saved me HOURS of frustration. Brilliant publication. Every novice should own it!!!!

This is incomplete. The full solution is here:

Fantastic thread works like a treat.

It would be great in the next release that this could be made in the admin section for the site.

Cheers
