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).

Thanks! I'll have a go with that, though I did manage to get the inbuilt PW date translation to work. 

I had been using date() but realised i need to use $datetime->date() (as well as put translations in the WireDateTime.php file)

Oooh actually I need ranges too so HumanDates will be very useful.

Cheers!

Hi Bernhard, It seems that localDate isn’t a default filter in Latte. You can refer to the Latte documentation for a list of built-in filters. To translate date fields, you might consider using PHP’s `IntlDateFormatter` or creating a custom Latte filter for localized date formatting. My friend was studying business management and often faced challenges with their writing at all academic levels. As a supportive friend, I recommended using DoMyPaper for help with their essay writing. He decided to give https://domypaper.com/ a try and is completely satisfied with the service. DoMyPaper has a team of professional writers who assist their users with various writing needs. They offer services for all academic levels and are available 24/7.

I also had the same problem, what can I do?

Edit: Anyone?

Hi

Are you asking about Latte filters or about using the PW date formatting?

Navigate to site/modules/RockFrontend  than run command.

composer update latte/latte

I've updated the module, thx.
