latte localDate filter

[elvina]

Hi Bernhard

I tried to use the Latte localDate filter in a latte template and I get "Filter not defined". 
Is there a list of latte filters that are included?

I'm just trying to get my date fields to translate as I can't get months to translate without using strftime() which is now depreciated.

thanks

RockFrontend includes the HumanDates library that you can use as strftime alternative:

$rockfrontend->humandates('de_AT')->format('2025-01-01', 'd. MMMM y')

// 1. Jänner 2025

If it‘s just one language and one or two spots you need to deal with month or weekday names, I tend to use an array with e.g. the month names defined in the Latter template in combination with a PHP date format string like „n“ used as array index pointing to the month name needed (or „N“ for the weekday number).
