Months are displayed in the wrong language in the search

[Fraenkiman]

Hello, everyone,

in the search (search.php) when selecting the month instead of the selected default language; in my case German, the month is displayed in English.

Not as simple as it seems: Month names are generated by Smarty automatically...

fp-interface/sharedtpls/search.tpl: <p>{html_select_date month_names=$monthnames start_year=2000 end_year=$smarty.now|date_format:"%Y" field_separator=" - " field_order="DMY" time="0000-00-00" all_empty="--"}</p>

Hello, everyone,

laborix has created a possible solution in this forum post. Perhaps one can accommodate the PHP8.1 compatible with. However, I haven't had a chance to test the solution yet

Hello, everyone,

laborix from our FlatPress forum created a working solution in the post.

The Smarty module function.html_select_date.php must be adjusted as follows:

Replace the lines 190 - 193 in the file "/fp-includes/smarty/plugins/function.html_select_date.php"

for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
  $month_names[$i] = strftime($month_format, mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, 2000));
  $month_values[$i] = strftime($month_value_format, mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, 2000));
}

with this code:

/*
 * Flatpress issue #132
 * Months are displayed in the wrong language in the search
 *
 * Debug: 2022-09-27 
 * Using now the month_names from the Flatpress language files
 */
global $lang;
    
$replace_month_names = array();
$replace_month_names[0] = '-';
$replace_month_value_format = array("00","01","02","03","04","05","06","07","08","09","10","11","12");
$fp_lang_months = array();
$fp_lang_months = $lang['date']['month'];
$fplm = 0;
for ($lm = 1; $lm <= 12; $lm++) {      
  $replace_month_names[$lm] = $fp_lang_months[$fplm];
  $fplm++;
}
for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
  $month_names[$i] = $replace_month_names[$i];
  $month_values[$i] = $replace_month_value_format[$i];
}

The correct search results should now appear (tested with FlatPress 1.2.1 under PHP 8.0) and run under PHP 7.x, as well as PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1.

I also tested the solution using FlatPress fp-1.3.dev [master] - and it works very well, as expected.

Best regards and have a restful night
