Event_List show dayname additional to date

Permalink
Hi.

Is it possible to show additional to the date the dayname in the Event_List ?

Ive found the file "../blocks/event_list/templates/terminliste/view.php"

<p class="datumszeile">
<span class="tag"><?php   echo date('d', strtotime($event->date)) ; ?>.</span>


Now i could add this line
<?php echo date('D', strtotime($event->date));?>


But is this really necessary?

I mean is there a chance to make it with a configuration setting or something like that?

And how can i change the local settings for the date to DE (German) ?
