locating the_time function

[DaNiel]

After many years of never translatable the_time function in the default theme, classic, etc, i beg for using at least something like
<?php the_time(('F j, Y','wordpress')); ?>
so we can manipulate this US format in some other usage...

[DaNiel]

sorry, there is a little error: there is no " ; "at the end of the function... ;-)

You can set the format from wp-admin/options-general.php Date Format.

Additionally, you have two filters: 'the_time' and 'get_the_time'.

Changing the admin option never influenced the blogs (on a wpmu install, it only applies on the main blog).

I'm speaking about the defaut & classic theme files. the_time filter has to be handled manually, and that is exactly what i don't want to do at each update. So why it is so complicated to make this filter translatable ?

Replying to DaNiel:

That's something that should be fixed then.

Anyone have a solution to suggest?

Do New sites inherit the current options from the main site, or is it a complete static list? IIRC, It uses a static list? Perhaps certain options should be inherited from the main blog upon creation.

Most settings are the same as a newly installed single WP. A few are conditional in populate_options. Also, in the Super Admin -> Options screen there are setting that affect a new site (ex. first post title & content).

i found some time/date functions translated in wpmu today... but on a singular manner (one i didn't know in fact) and i found it only because i construct my own pot file with poEdit and find some great difféerence with the latest wpmu pot (2.9.2)

strings contain _x or esc_attr_e or esc_attr
This didn't sure resolve the problem, but we have 3 other different manner to declare the time on the template script...

I'll be honest, I'm not sure what this ticket is asking for. They are translatable, and they should be in the pot file.

the_time() calls get_the_time() which calls get_post_time() with a $translate argument of true (default false), which then passes that $translate argument to mysql2date(), which then uses date_i18n().

Alternatively, if the_time() is used without any arguments, then it uses the blog setting, which can be localized by the user.

Removing the milestone and suggesting close, pending feedback.

TwentyTen uses the default date/time formats and we have minimzed the usage of custom formats in other parts of core.

In mutlisite this is the expected behaviour. There is no master option for setting the time/date format of each new blog.
