    Hey again!

    Here's the problem right now. How to localize the dates (created_at, updated_at) found in tables? I've tried the following in one of my views:

    <p><%= t('%name wrote this on %date', {'%name' => questbook_entry.name, '%date' => questbook_entry.created_at}) %></p>

    try with this

    $date_helper->locale_date($questbook_entry->created_at)

    hi,
    i am trying to get a localized date in the form "n Weekday", for example, 31 Wednesday (31 Miércoles). Anybody knows how to achieve this?

    i have done this:

    $timestamp = Ak::getTimestamp($iso_date);
    $format = Ak::locale('j D');
    return Ak::getDate($timestamp, $format);

    but i got an error.......

    delia, I think you're missusing Ak::locale('j D');

    Ak::locale looks for an index on the $locale array in your config/locales/LOCALE.php files

    As an example for i18n a date and months, you can do something like:

    On your locale file

    $locale['full_text_date'] = "%s %d of %s, year %d";
$locale['days'] = "Sunday,Monday,Tuesday....";
$locale['months'] = "January,February.....";

    In a helper

    function full_text_date(){
    $days = Ak::toArray(Ak::locale('days'));
    $months = Ak::toArray(Ak::locale('months'));
    return sprintf($locale['full_text_date'], $days[date('w')], date('j'), $months[date('n')+1], date('Y'));
}

    Hope it helps

    thanks Bermi. it helps

    (y perdona por las preguntas estúpidas - se me nota a la legua que estoy empezando. Intento buscar información antes de preguntar, pero todavía hay muy poca documentación sobre el framework me parece)

    delia, I'd like the Akelos community to embrace the "There are no dumb questions culture", so don't worry … y bienvenidas sean tus preguntas :)
