Change format of date?

Hi,
could I should the date format of the articles in the StartUp template in this format also?

18 SEP
2013

Instead of only:
18 SEP

Thx

Hi,
Check this file: gk_startup\html\com_content\article\default.php
Line 99:

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d M')); ?>

Add "Y" after M

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d M Y')); ?>

You will get Year like me see below

Great - thanks!

and using few lines more you can get this effect

date.png

date-2.png

of course you had to add shadow, more padding inside etc. etc... maybe next time (next topic) if you like

Thank you, that´s fine for me.

Hi,
coming back to the issue of showing the date like "May 23 2013" instead of "May 23".

Based on your initial answer, I changed the code, the date is shown now including the year in ARTICLES.


However - I generally switched of "Show date created" in articles, as I want to show it only in the News section.

So I went to the my menu "News" and there, I set "show date created" to YES for articles, shown.


The point is - here again, all dates are shown without the Year. Where do I have to change the date code for this?

Many thanks.

Just do the same for this file: gk_startup\html\com_content\category\blog_item.php

Just do the same for this file: gk_startup\html\com_content\category\blog_item.php

Thank you, that worked!

Additionally, I also had to change the date format in featured\default_item.php to get it the way I want in featured articles on the homepage as well...

Yeah you got it right. Well done!
