A few localization issues need to be addressed here. The first is the setting that instructs PHP to use your local month and day names. This setting is also found on the phpNuke preferences settings page immediately following your language settings. Now you will have to experiment with the values that your server understands. For example, if you live in The Netherlands you would use "nl_NL" as the Local time format, for English speaking countries you would use "en_US".

You may also choose to set a server time offset in the event your host server is in another part of the country or world, but you want to display time relative to where you live. To determine this, check to see what your host server sets the time at for some article you have posted. Once you have determined the difference between the server and you local time, enter that amount in the "Server Time Offset" field. For example, if you lived on the East Coast of the U.S., but your server was on the West Coast, you would enter "+3".

The second is the exact format you want to use in the language file for displaying dates and times. There are two ways of displaying date and time, long date and short date. Long date has a full text alpha-date with the fields dayname, daynumber, monthname and year. Short dates are strictly numeric dates. In your language file search for the following string:

	From the lang-english.php file:
	
	case "datestring": $tmp = "%A, %B %d @ %H:%M:%S %Z"; break;
	case "datestring2": $tmp = "%A, %B %d"; break;
	case "datestring3": $tmp = "%Y-%m-%d@%H:%M:%S"; break;
	case "datestring4": $tmp = "%B %d, %Y"; break;
	case "datestring5": $tmp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"; break;
		

	From the lang-dutch.php file:
	
	case "datestring": $tmp = "%A, %B %d @ %H:%M:%S %Z"; break;
	case "datestring2": $tmp = "%A, %B %d"; break;
	case "datestring3": $tmp = "%d-%m-%y om %H:%M:%S"; break;
	case "datestring4": $tmp = "%d %B %Y"; break;
	case "datestring5": $tmp = "%d-%m-%y %H:%M:%S"; break;
		

Please note the differences in the strings between the two languages. You will need to adjust your settings to whatever is appropriate for you language.
