Hello Sali,

In Site administration > Appearance > Calendar there's a setting Time display format (calendar_site_timeformat) which allows you to set a 12-hour format for the site.

Hi Helen, 
Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, it still does not work. I had the Calendar set to 12-hour (am/pm). I also changed it temporarily to default and back to 12-hour with no result. I am obviously setting this as admin. 


Here is what it looks like in the assignment module. 


The preferred language is set to English (United Stated) (en_us) in the profile area and for the site. 

The Calendar Preferences in the profile area is set to 12-hour (am/pm)

Any other suggestions?

What are the locales the server supports? In Unix boxes the command locale will show the list.

Are you talking about the display of the times for students - or about when setting deadlines for teachers? WIth 12 hour format set and my language set to en_us I do see the deadlines displayed in the 12 format with am and pm. But when setting up an assignment I always see the 24 hour clock - I am not sure I have ever seen an option to set assignment times with an am and pm option? But hopefully someone else will know better.

I am talking about the setting up of the assignments. Some faculty complain that that it is the 24 hour clock.

Hi Sali,

As a Moodle site administrator, you can configure the date and time strings in the langconfig language file of the language pack for your language. This can be done by using the built-in language editor in Moodle by navigating to Site administration > Language > Language packs.

A list of the date/time format codes can be found on the following page:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Hope you find this useful.

Best regards,

Michael Milette

Hi Michael, 

Thanks for the input. Any idea which setting will actually control this. I experimented with the following to no avail. 




I also verified that the course is using the English United States language pack.

Hi Michael

Me too, can't find the solution. This is where I am:


Under the Show strings:



Where to go from there? Of course I entered wild things like %Y %M in to the box, with no effect on time display.

P.S. Making matters worse, https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php brings:



May be, you meant to get the date format codes from that page. Moodle has probably moved on.

It's weird that those boxes don't show where the strings are coming from


moodle/course/modedit.php?update=110&return=1&strings=1

It has something to do with some string, probably in langconfig, where a captial H should be replaced by a small h
h    hour, 12-hour format; i.e. "01" to "12"
H    hour, 24-hour format; i.e. "00" to "23"

And may be adding
a    am or pm
A    AM or P

Which language pack are you using?
