Change the date variables at you config.inc.php.

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/38a492bbbc1c4d6b00ce92d6cd8004bf526b2094/config.TEMPLATE.inc.php#L59


; Site time zone
; Please refer to lib/pkp/registry/timeZones.xml for a full list of supported
; time zones.
; I.e.:
; <entry key="Europe/Amsterdam" name="Amsterdam" />
; time_zone="Amsterdam"
time_zone = "UTC"

; Short and long date formats
date_format_trunc = "%m-%d"
date_format_short = "%Y-%m-%d"
date_format_long = "%B %e, %Y"
datetime_format_short = "%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p"
datetime_format_long = "%B %e, %Y - %I:%M %p"
time_format = "%I:%M %p"

; Use URL parameters instead of CGI PATH_INFO. This is useful for
; broken server setups that don't support the PATH_INFO environment
; variable.
disable_path_info = Off

Be sure you follow php date syntax.

Then, clean your server and browser caches and visit again the site.

“Last activity recorded on {$date}” is not using the date_format_short set in config.inc.php.

It seems related to the locale chosen (and the browser used) as I don’t get the same result with the English OJS interface (Chrome & Firefox) :

Last activity recorded on 11/19/2019

as with the French OJS interface (Chrome & Firefox):

Dernière activité enregistrée le 2019-11-19

Not to say that with Internet Explorer I get:

Last activity recorded on Invalid Date
Dernière activité enregistrée le Invalid Date

My config.php.inc. reads:
date_format_short = “%Y-%m-%d”
locale = fr_CA (I also tried to set it to en_US but it didn’t change anything…)

Hi @asmecher and @Marie-Helene

I’am use locale fr_FR, It’s show 29/01/2020.

If i’am use fr_CA, it’s show same you show.

config.inc.php
locale=en_US
date_format_short = “%Y-%m-%d”

Where is the $date template read from???
Could the information come from build.js?

Thank you @Marie-Helene
