Hi juminya

I think, you can't change date format in Repository screen directly from configuration!

You can define your any new date format in common.properties and this new date format you can use in Share client side js in Alfresco.util.formatDate() function

Ex:

 Alfresco.util.formatDate(DateObject, Alfresco.util.message("date-format.shortDate")); ‍

To change dateformat in document listing page, Please use your new dateFormat in this file. Currently its using relativeTime - webapps\share\components\documentlibrary\documentlist.js

Hope this help!

The quickest way is to modify file

 ${SHARE_ROOT}\js\alfresco\renderers\i18n\Date.properties‍

and

 components\documentlibrary\documentlist-min.js‍

in file documentlist-min.js search with keyword "relativeTime",you'll find something like

aa=Alfresco.util.relativeTime ‍

,aa is a javascript function that convert iso8601 time format to relative time ,then search with keyword "aa(" ,you'll find something like

this.msg("details."+a5+"-by",aa(a7)‍

change this piece of code to

this.msg("details."+a5+"-by",a7‍‍

,and save the file.
You'll get what you want.

The best way is to use Surf component extension,but it'll take you more time and efford.

We need to edit the <alfresco home>\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\messages\common.properties as well as <alfresco home>\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\messages\common_en.properties

the second file the locale specific file should also be modified.

## Date Formats
#Used client side (uses Alfresco.util.formatDate)
date-format.default=mm/dd/yyyy

These changes only impact the display format of date, if we need to make changes for form we need to modify in <alfresco home>\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\form\form.get_en.properties and form.get.properties.

Hope this will help you

Ideally, you should never edit any of the default files and instead use extension methods (e.g. Surf Extensibility Module with a i18n customisation bundle) to add any overrides via custom files.
