Yes, I used a simple plugin of my own:


function smarty_modifier_mydate_format($date_in,$lang)
{
if($date_in != "") {
	$temp = explode("-",$date_in);
	if($lang == "german") {
		$date_out = $temp[2]. "." . $temp[1] . "." .$temp[0];
		}
	else {
		$date_out = $temp[1]. "/" . $temp[2] . "/" .$temp[0];
		}
	return $date_out;
	}
}

I'll take a look at PEAR::Date too, since PEAR is implemented anyway. 
Thanks!

Ciao,
