Can you post the solution? i am having a similar issue using postnote and j1.7 . All settings are set to show 'published date' and only the word 'published' is shown. No ':' either and no actual date.

Thanks!

I do not have access to older versions of postnote for joomla 1.7 so please check following files and replace as below.

Problem: Due to wrong language string used in custom styles, when article published date is enabled following happens in frontend, instead of " Published on: xx xx xxxx " users only see "Published" word.

Replace "COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE" with "COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE_ON" without qoutes.

Check following files and lines, although line numbers are from latest version code should be similar.

\templates\gk_postnote\html\com_content\article\default.php

Code: Select all

Line 152:       <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->publish_up, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?>
Line 294:                <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->publish_up, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?>


\templates\gk_postnote\html\com_content\category\blog_item.php

Code: Select all

Line 105:       <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->publish_up, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?>
Line 232:              <span class="published"><?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->publish_up, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?></span>


\templates\gk_postnote\html\com_content\featured\default_item.php

Code: Select all

Line 119:       <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->publish_up, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?>
Line 236:              <span class="published"><?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHED_DATE', JHTML::_('date',$this->item->publish_up, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?></span>

Hi there,

I have a very similar problem:

I use "the real design"-template and want to show in a blog section the creation date instead of the publishing date on the left hand side in the "black square". I can show the publishing date (as I did in the 2nd article, named "Vortrag"). In the category blog I show all dates of my trainings so it would be wonderful if the date in the square would correspond with the beginning date of my training and I want to show the article in the categroy blog some months before the beginning of the training so using the publishing date isn't the solution. http://sandraeversberg.de/sandra-eversb ... -eversberg
Hope I made it clear.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to change this.
Thanks for your hel

So basically in black square date you want to show "created date". Is this correct?

yes, this is absolut correct. In k2 it is solved like I would love it (it shows created date instead of published date) but I don't like the layout of the category blog in k2 so I would prefer to use joomla only.

Following is for GK Real Design Template
Following is for joomla 2.5
Following changes Blog Layout > Date displayed on the left from published date to created date.

Find File: \templates\gk_the_real_design\html\com_content\category\blog_item.php
Find Lines: 38 to 43 which is below

Code: Select all

            <?php if ($params->get('show_publish_date')) : ?>
         <div class="gkDate">
            <div><?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->publish_up, JText::_('d')); ?></div>
            <div><?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->publish_up, JText::_('M')); ?></div>
         </div>
         <?php endif; ?>


Replace with below

Code: Select all

            <?php if ($params->get('show_create_date')) : ?>
         <div class="gkDate">
            <div><?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d')); ?></div>
            <div><?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('M')); ?></div>
         </div>
         <?php endif; ?>


Make sure Show Created Date is enabled in article option or Category Option or from Menu Article Options.

Hi Norman
On my site I want to remove the category layout features that appear on the left completely such as the author, date, icons etc. How do I remove that from the layout?

Thank you.

Hi corne,

Can you please open a separate topic as this one is getting mixed with different template contents.
