i use german date metadata in templates (e.g. {{ document.metadata_value_of.date|date_parse|date:“m” }}), as described in the corresponding post here in the forum. I now have the problem, that the django uses the english date language format and thus month and days are swapped in the output results. As described in the Django reference, i probably have to change the LANGUAGE_CODE to german in the mayan django settings. But since i’m a newbie in such things, i’m not sure if this is the correct way. Any advise i would be appreciated.
The issue here is not Django, but the date parsing library, more precisely the way we use the library. Changing the LANGUAGE_CODE value will have not effect.
In order to make it easy to use, we encapsulate this library as filter to convert the date text string to a date object. Using a filter is easier but does not allow passing arguments.
Seem we’ll need to update this encapsulation to a tag to allow passing the dayfirst argument to solve your situation.
I’ve added this item to our work list for next version.
