    Does anyone know how to change the time format off the 24hr format and onto a standard AM/PM format?

    Hi Jess, are you looking to change the calendar in the Airtime administration interface, or the widgets for public facing websites?

    Cheers!

    Being able to change it in the admin interface would be nice!

    /*
    Here is a small general 24hr ->12hr AM/PM function.
    Paste this function at the top of jquery.showinfo.js, just under the Airtime API version, or at the top of whatever javascript widget you are using. Use it wherever you need to change the time format.
    See it working here: http://www.deprogrammedradio.com/

    It takes standard javascript date objects. Usage example:
                        var SchedStartAMPM = formatTimeAMPM(SchedStartTime);
                        var SchedEndAMPM = formatTimeAMPM(SchedEndTime);

     */

    function formatTimeAMPM(date) {
        function pad(n) { return (n < 10) ? '0' + n : n; }
        var time = new Date(date);
        var hours = time.getHours();
        var minutes = time.getMinutes();
        var ext ='am';
        if (hours >= 12) {
            hours -= 12;
            ext ='pm';
        }
        if (hours === 0) { hours = 12; }
        return hours + ':' + pad(minutes) + ext;
    }

    Any quick but clean fixes to change the web UI time to 12hr am/pm?
