template dateformat

[kmar]

Hello,

 

I'm running into a problem with dateformatting.

 

I'm trying to format this line in the networkissues.php template:

{$issue.startdate|date_format:"%A %e %B %Y (%H:%M)"}

Input: 19/06/2012 12:00

Output should be: Tuesday 19 June 2012 (12:00)

instead it outputs: Wednesday 20 June (18:06) (which is today, timestamp apparently is now)

I noticed this problem disappears when I change the dateformat in admin to MM/DD/YYYY.

 

Only I want to use DD/MM/YYYY because that's what I'm used to (EU based and all that...)

 

Now my question is this; does anyone know how I can get this to work and still use DD/MM/YYYY in the admin area?

 

Thanks!
