Having just sucessfully installed the Calendar Events MOD, I have noticed the date format that is shown on an event is not in the same format as the rest of the forum.ie the rest show dd mmm yyyy
What is shown on my calander event is first image
Ideally to match the rest of the date formats I would like it to show like this:
Can anyone point us to the str that formats the date style for the topic ..
Shaggy did mention on the forum a while ago - the date style that I need to change is the LCID in the config.asp file so that any other dates passed through the strtodate function is displayed correctly. As I'm in the UK, I have changed change the LCID to 2057.
is there some strtodate missing in the code to display the date above
regards andy

When I was adding the code in post_info.asp
Where the readme file says
Line 894
my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
Below that, insert this
%><!--#INCLUDE FILE="cal_post_info2.asp"-->
<%
I noticed when I did a search on the file for
my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
there was more than one entry of this text. I ended up putting the inserted code on line 926
hope that helps

Apols, for delay, my last post was at 1.30am British Summer Time, didn't realise time. However there is a lot of code around the 'my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords ' where I have put the '%><!--#INCLUDE FILE="cal_post_info2.asp"-->
<%' so I have posted a text file of post_info.asp here, as I have other mods installed too. Look for line 926..

Regarding the date format as posted with images above, I tried your changes Leatherlips, if the topic shows reoccurring dates in the suggested format it displays like:
April 2008 27
May 2008 4, 11, 18, 25
June 2008 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
July 2008 6, 13, 20, 27
August 2008 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
Thinking about it, I think it is easier to read in the yyyy mmmm dd format, especially when more than one date is listed, so I will 'stay as is' and put up with non UK date format in that area. All the rest of the date formats are okay to match LCID,,, Thank you anyway..

Leatherlips, further to my post regarding the positioning of the Events Topic Title in side the topic page, see Topic.asp lines 900-913
Response.Write " <hr noshade size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td valign=""top"" height=""100%""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """><span class=""spnMessageText"" id=""msg"">"
If blnEvent Then
%> <!-- #include file="cal_topic.asp" --> <%
End If
if Request.QueryString("SearchTerms") <> "" then
Response.Write SearchHiLite(formatStr(Topic_Message))
else
Response.Write formatStr(Topic_Message)
end if
Response.Write "</span id=""msg""></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
Your line numbers might be slightly different, owing to mod status..
Hope this helps

If I reversed the two parts in red it gives me this:
May 2008 13
Maybe if you played around with that you could get the format you wanted. Also this file has the strtodate code you mentioned.
Either the chkDate or strToDate function should be used to display dates pulled from the database to ensure they're formatted properly.
