Date range locale

[j11k00]

Thanks for developing this useful Kirby plugin. It looks like toDateRange() and dateRange() are not picking up the locale set in the config and return the string in German in any case. All the other methods helpers seem to work fine. Running on Kirby 4.

Interesting – this never occured to us so far. Two questions:

1. Which PHP version are you using?
2. Could you please provide an usage example with expected and actual result?

Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this.

Running locally on MAMP Tried PHP 8.2 and 8.3

I have a page with two date fields, like so:

$start = $page->start();
$end = $page->end();
$range  = dateRange($start, $end);

echo $range;
// returns 16. – 23. März 2024 though locale is set to en_GB

Hope I'm not missing something obvious.

Oh, I think I understand the problem now. And yes, you are right, the dateRange helper (and thus the related method) is not consistent with the other methods. I'll have to think about how to fix this in a backwards-compatible way.

For now, adding the following to your config.php should fix the issue for now:

return [
    // … other setting here …
    'hananils.date-methods' => [
        'code' => 'en'
    ]
];

Thanks again.

For anyone trying the solution above, had to add the full list of available options to do the trick.

return [
  'hananils.date-methods' => [
    'code' => 'en',
    'rangeseparator' => '–',
    'datetimeseparator' => ', ',
    'datetype' => IntlDateFormatter::LONG,
    'timetype' => IntlDateFormatter::SHORT
  ]
];
