Change Date Format

[prhammer]

I was wondering where the date format is set? Is it in a css file or someplace else?

In our display it shows:

File Name: filename.exe
File Size: 66.25 MB
Version: 2009.12.16
Date: 08. April 2009

I would like to be able to remove the "." after the day. Or, alternatively, not display a date at all. Any help in how either (or both) of these might be accomplished would be appreciated.

The date format appears to be hard coded into the default front end category template file -> components/com_phocadownload/views/category/tmpl/default.php at around line 114

Code: Select all

if ($valueDoc->date != '') {
	$details .= '<div>'.JText::_('Date').': '.JHTML::Date($valueDoc->date, "%d. %B %Y").'</div>';
}

You'll notice the date format ("%d. %B %Y") in the above code. You might try changing that string to one of these language strings.

• "DATE_FORMAT_LC" should display as Monday, 13 April 2009
• "DATE_FORMAT_LC1" should display as Monday, 13 April 2009
• "DATE_FORMAT_LC2" should display as Monday, 13 April 2009 14:37
• "DATE_FORMAT_LC3" should display as 13 April 2009
• "DATE_FORMAT_LC4" should display as 13.04.09

You can find a few more language strings in the /language/en-GB/en-GB.ini at around line 7

Thank you so much for your help finding that. For my needs, all I had to do was delete that period after %d

I actually wonder if that is a typo - or is that normal punctuation for the date format in some places?

Anyway - a very big thank you to codejunkie (sorry I was a little slow with it!)
