Date format of mails sent by Mantis Bug Tracker

Question

Hello,

Im using Mantis bug tracker v1.1.8. When mails sent from mantis arrive in my company inbox,the date shown on the Inbox page is "Unknown Date" for the message. On opening the message, i can see the actual date. The date of mails received from Mantis is of the format Thu, 31 Dec 2009 12:30:28 +0580, whereas the date format of other mails is like Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:56:18 +0100 [12/21/2009 11:26:18 AM IST].

Any way to fix this problem ? Thank You

In the config_inc.php Mantis configuration file, you should be able to define your own date format for the "complete date" setting:

  / / Setting the language and date format  
  $ g_default_language = 'french';  
  $ g_short_date_format = 'dm-Y';  
  $ g_normal_date_format = 'dmY H: i';  
  $ g_complete_date_format = 'dmY H: i';

It should follow the php date format convention. You could then use those format conventions to build the exact date output you need.
