Hi I have this problem too. I could not understand how unix timestamp on view layer, convert to human readable date format in Gregorian calendar. I want to display all date on view layer in Jalali calendar. Jalali and Hijri calendar are different type of calendar that used in many countries on west Asia.

I appreciate in advance for any help or guidance.

There is a date() php function. Unix time stamp is all second from 1970-01-01 to today. You may calculate.

Hi @almas I know about that. but it's not my problem. I'm confused to know, how or where return date calculate and print on UI. for example in the below HTML tag:

<div class="dateParent actionHandle dragHandle">
      <span class="date" data-moment-format="SHORT" data-moment-format-title="FULL" data-bind="moment: dateTimeStampInUTC"></span>
    </div>

I need to know how data-bind="moment: dateTimeStampInUTC" works? We try to change calculation from Georgian calendar to Jalali calendar without success. I read about knockoutjs too to understand. The main problem is RainLoop does not have developer docs. I am aware about date() php function and Carbon class and have good knowledge about Unix time stamp (epoch time) and detail history too.

But it is unclear for me. How final date print and show to user on RainLoop UI. I think it happens in moment:dateTimeStampInUTC but I was unable to change return date from various function after little modification.

I guess above problem occur because RainLoop cache some data and file. I was unable to clear cache after remove cache directory based on some recipe mentioned on other issues.

I hope you understand my problem and help me to solve that. I and my Colleagues work on localization open source software for more 15 years and our team decide to help for improving RainLoop features.

I appreciate in advance for any help or guidance.

Oh I see. I'm not Rainloop developer. But I think that you may find viewTimeStamp function and see that function: dev/View/User/MailBox/MessageView.js this.viewTimeStamp(

If it doesn't work then insert your function to php migth work. But I don't think would work. But you may try:

rainloop-webmail/rainloop/v/0.0.0/app/libraries/RainLoop/Actions.php 9876 'DateTimeStampInUTC' => $iDateTimeStampInUTC, Then change dateTimeStampInUTC to your variable.

It might AngularjJS function.
