date format in order creation notification email

-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business: 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.28
-- PHP version -- : 5.2.11

In the order creation email, my order comes in with the message (sorry... in Dutch):
Bedankt voor van uw bestelling met Nr. C6Z8 via www.kattenzorg-denhaag.nl/joomla2/ op 2015-09-16 om 14:06

As you can see the date format is not exactly user-friendly. I'd really rather "16 september 2015" (in Dutch)
In the preloaded on line 96 is the following:
hikashop_getDate(time(),'%d %B %Y')
As you can see that is not what is showing up in the email, and any other format change I make is also not working (eg. %l %d %F %Y).
I've edited the preloaded for a number of other changes I wanted to implement and they've worked fine.

Oh, and one other question: Can I remove the telephone number from the user information in the order creation email? I still want users to enter their number when registering, I just don't want it in the email.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The format can be modified with a translation override of these translation keys:
HIKASHOP_DATE_FORMAT="%Y-%m-%d"
HIKASHOP_EXTENDED_DATE_FORMAT="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"

hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify
If you want to remove the phone number, you can edit the file "address_template" for both your frontend and your backend template via the menu Display>Views and remove the corresponding tag.

That worked. Excellent.
Thank you so much.

Actually, I'm afraid to say I was a little quick in responding saying it was all fine.

As far as the date format is concerned, when I change the language file: to :
HIKASHOP_EXTENDED_DATE_FORMAT="%d %m %Y %H:%M"
I get the expected: 27 09 2015 om 14:54 (its in Dutch)

However when I change the month format to :
HIKASHOP_EXTENDED_DATE_FORMAT="%d %F %Y %H:%M"
I get: 27 %september 2015 om 14:55
Note the extra percentage sign before the month (lack of capital for the start of the month name is normal in Dutch - its just the extra % that needs to go).

Any ideas?? Thanks again.

Hi,

" %F " is an incorrect tag for the Joomla function date.
The right tag is " %B ".
As you wrote in your first message

hikashop_getDate(time(),'%d %B %Y')

Regards,

Oops. Sorry. Seriously blonde moment.
