Convert your store to be UK based
Converting the date and time for your store
Open catalog/includes/languages/english.php and change the code to this.
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_UK.ISO_8859-1');
define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y'); // this is used for date()
define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');
////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
if ($reverse) {
return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
} else {
return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);
}
}
You will also need to change the following in the same file:
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Your Date of Birth must be in this format: MM/DD/YYYY (eg 05/21/1970)');
to:
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_ERROR', 'Your Date of Birth must be in this format: DD/MM/YYYY (eg 21/05/1970)');
Change:
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 05/21/1970)');
to:
define('ENTRY_DATE_OF_BIRTH_TEXT', '* (eg. 21/05/1970)');
Change:
define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');
to:
define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');
Converting the date and time for your admin panel
This is very similar to the catalog changes above but it is not identical.
Open catalog/admin/includes/languages/english.php and change the code to this.
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_UK.ISO_8859-1');
define('DATE_FORMAT_SHORT', '%d/%m/%Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y'); // this is used for date()
define('PHP_DATE_TIME_FORMAT', 'd/m/Y H:i:s'); // this is used for date()
define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT', DATE_FORMAT_SHORT . ' %H:%M:%S');
////
// Return date in raw format
// $date should be in format mm/dd/yyyy
// raw date is in format YYYYMMDD, or DDMMYYYY
function tep_date_raw($date, $reverse = false) {
if ($reverse) {
return substr($date, 0, 2) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 6, 4);
} else {
return substr($date, 6, 4) . substr($date, 3, 2) . substr($date, 0, 2);
}
}
Change:
define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'mm/dd/yyyy');
to:
define('DOB_FORMAT_STRING', 'dd/mm/yyyy');
Changing the address format
- You will need to use myPhpAdmin (or similar) to open your database and edit the address_format table.
- Click Insert when you have selected the table and then …
Set the address_format to:
$firstname $lastname$cr$streets$cr$city$cr$postcode$cr$country
and the address_summary to:
UK Address Structure
- Now you need to go to your admin section and open Locations & Taxes menu
- Click Countries
- Find the United Kingdom
- Click Edit
- Set the Address Format to match the row you just created using myPhpAdmin (eg. 6)
Changing the address field names
Again open catalog/includes/languages/english.php and change:
define('ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS', 'Street Address:');
to:
define('ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS', 'Address Line 1:');
Change:
define('ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_ERROR', 'Your Street Address must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');
to:
define('ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_ERROR', 'Your Address Line 1 must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');
Change:
define('ENTRY_SUBURB', 'Suburb:');
to:
define('ENTRY_SUBURB', 'Address Line 2:');
Change:
define('ENTRY_STATE', 'State/Province:');
to:
define('ENTRY_STATE', 'County/State:');
You can use just County instead of County/State if you don't intend to sell internationally
Change:
define('ENTRY_STATE_ERROR', 'Your State must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_STATE_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');
to:
define('ENTRY_STATE_ERROR', 'Your County/State must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_STATE_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');
Change:
define('ENTRY_STATE_ERROR_SELECT', 'Please select a State from the States pull down menu.');
to:
define('ENTRY_STATE_ERROR_SELECT', 'Please select a county/state from the County/State pull down menu.');
Change your default language currency to GBP + Others
Source: RidexBuilder, osCMax forums
- Edit the following in catalog/includes/languages/english.php:
// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)
define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');
// charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');
- and further down the same file …
// LINE ADDED: Country-State Selector
define ('DEFAULT_COUNTRY', '222');
