12 Hour AM/PM Time Format

pmaxx · 2009-03-09 18:41:49

Are there any plans to add this capability? I have not seen any mention of it, and there is no field for it in the Setup -> General page.

This would make GLPI much more user-friendly for north American users.

Thanks in advance!

Wikipedia :

"People who grew up with the 24-hour clock see the 12-hour notation as a less practical and outdated convention, especially in the context of written communication, computers and digital clocks. People who grew up with the 12-hour clock often have problems indicating midnight and noon. Those who grew up with the 24-hour clock are confused when they come across situations very common in Internet forums and email, in which a message indicated as posted at "12:46 am" appears before a message marked "11:05 am". (These arguments may be compared to the discussion on metrication.)

The disadvantages commonly voiced in comparing the 12-hour notation to the 24-hour clock are:

* confusion about the correct notation for noon and midnight
* confusion about the difference between midnight at the start and end of a given date
* The rollover from 12 to 1 happens an hour later than the change between a.m. and p.m.
* The lexicographical order does not match the chronological order.
* It is more complicated to implement in software and digital electronics.
* Typographically, the a.m. and p.m. terms require more space."

Greetings JMD;

I am very grateful for this amazing software, and I must agree that the 12 hour time format is not the best. unfortunately for me, the 24 hour format is difficult for me to work with. I think it would make GLPI easier to use for people like me if the 12 hour format was an option.

Thank you so much for this amazing software!

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread!
I'm also having the same issue as pmaxx. I wonder if there has been any development on this.
Thanks.

Hello everyone still relevant....

This was discussed recently here:
https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/pu … 1129183096

We may add a preference to choose between 12 and 24 hour formats, but I cannot guarantee it will be for the next major release (depends on how complex it is to support).
