SharePoint User Group UK

Hellow,

I am using the Resources booking template and want to do a little customisation.

However, as i am in the UK, using UK date conventions, when i change the regional settings to UK, everything changes fine.

however, when using the Availability screen to select a resource to book, it uses american date format.

How can i customise it so it uses UK standards?

I also have this problem with the timecard custom template

The server and site settings are both set to UK format. When you post an announcement etc. it has the correct date and time but when you "Punch in" it records a diiferent time (I pressume USA) and date format.

This template is pretty useles if it doesn't record the correct time.

You need to customize that page in Designer and replace the lcid or localeID's from 1033(usa) to 2057 (UK)

a bigger problem when customizing is the RERStatus, which you will come accross when displaying custom views of bookings - when making a booking it creates two records.

Nothing is as it seems, nor is it otherwise.

Could you just point me to where in the Room Booking template I edit the lcid using SharePoint Designer please?

the main culprit is http://server/...../Reservations/Availability.aspx
just do a find and replace, i think there are only a couple of refernces to 1033
you can find your lcid from : http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx

I haven't used it myself, but Steven Van de Craen has posted an unofficial updated version of the template on his blog here http://www.moss2007.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2008/04/21/rooms-and-equipment-reservations-v2-unofficial.aspx .

Might be worth a look

Many thanks, Pete.  Search and replace in http://server/...../Reservations/Availability.aspx from 1033 to 2057 worked a treat.  There were quite a few to replace!
