Plone in the Afternoon
The default time display for Plone events is 24 hour time. Fine for the military, but "the clocks struck thirteen" never sounded right to my ears. So, I searched for a simple way to convert the time display to AM/PM time. However, Google failed to easily find me a solution. So, I investigated my own.
Turns out to be a quite simple change to /portal_skins/plone_content/event_view .
Customize this script, and change the following lines:
<span tal:replace="python:here.start().TimeMinutes()">Start Time</span>
<span i18n:translate="event_to">to</span>
<span tal:replace="python:here.end().TimeMinutes()">End Date Time</span>
To:
<span i18n:translate="event_from">from</span>
<span tal:replace="python:here.start().AMPMMinutes()">Start Time</span>
<span i18n:translate="event_to">to</span>
<span tal:replace="python:here.end().AMPMMinutes()">End Date Time</span>
The Zope Date class has several handy methods. In this case, we're just changing from the TimeMinutes() method to the AMPMMinutes() method, and we're done.
This change only affects the event view itself. The popups in the Calendar slot still show 24 hour time. I'll have to leave that to a later hack. :)
For your convenience, I've uploaded the complete customized event_view script
