I am trying to use biblatex
to format the reference to print the urldate in long form (Australian order) to match my university's style guide. I modified all the other fields using biblatex.cfg
I want the visited date to print the full date

My biblatex.cfg
is
\ProvidesFile{biblatex.cfg}
\renewbibmacro*{date+extrayear}{%
\iffieldundef{year}
{}
{\printtext{%
\addperiod\space\printfield{labelyear}%
\printfield{extrayear}}}}
\renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\DeclareFieldFormat{urldate}{\bibstring{urlseen}\space{#1}\addcomma}
\renewbibmacro*{url+urldate}{%
\iffieldundef{urlyear}
{}
{\setunit*{\addspace}%
\usebibmacro{urldate}}
\usebibmacro{url}}
\endinput
In my MWE files I have the following fields set
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, natbib=true, backend=biber, dateabbrev=false]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents}{references.bib}
@Online{ubuntu-preseed-dvd,
Title = {Ubuntu documentation Install CD Customization},
Author = {Soto, S.},
Date = {2013-02-27},
Editor = {Community Help Wiki last edited 27 February 2013},
Url = {https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization},
Urldate = {2015-09-25}
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{ubuntu-preseed-dvd}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Where the date is printed as 09/25/2015.
How can I get biblatex
to print as 25 September 2015?
urldate=long
. (Plus minus the well known "American date formatting puts the month first problem", which can be solved by not the British language, or Australian, see Formatting dates “day month year” with biblatex) – moewe Oct 17 '15 at 10:21
