How to change date??

Hi

I live in Iran and the date that we use in Iran is different from your date in U.S.A .

I want to know that how can I change the dates displayed.

There is a similar date for every date in your calendar for example:

18 march for us is 28 esfand.

how can I convert this date to the date I want.

There is a module at the URL below which could be used to convert between the Gregorian and Jalali calendars:

http://www.farsiweb.info/jalali/jalali.phps

It will perform conversions in both directions.

This would have to be incorporated into Moodle somewhere so that it could be called upon when needed.

All dates are printed with the userdate() function in lib/moodlelib.php, so that where you should start.  The argument (and value stored everywhere in the database) is the number of seconds since 12:00am 1st January 1970, Greenwich Mean Time.  userdate performs the (slightly complicated) conversion of this into a time that makes sense to the current user.

Another country that needs custom dates is Thailand.

It would be much easier for us to handle these changes if you could create a Patch file which shows just the changes (See Development:How_to_create_a_patch).

Then create a new issue in the tracker (http://tracker.moodle.org) summarising this issue and attaching your patch. Thank you.
