Some troubles with date in Creativity template

Hi, I encounter troubles with date when using creativity. With standard joomla template 2.5, date format is displaying correctly Day Month Year in articles, but with creativity template date have been overridden by a new date format that doesn't suit my needs. Any idea?

Hi,
are you talking about date in articles or inside module (NSP) ?


If second answer --> News Show Pro have special date format field, please look at more details here >> https://www.gavick.com/documentation/wp ... ion-34.jpg, documentation page explain how to change %DATE format >> http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... pro-gk4-2/

About standard articles

check this file:
gk_creativity\html\com_content\article\default.php

find all
<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->modified, JText::_('F j, Y')); ?>

it creates a date that look like this: September 24, 2013

And change it to

Code: Select all

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

And you will get - 17.10.2013,
use this guide ( ) : http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time

I was talking about articles and you provide a solution. I'm wondering why you are not letting joomla do the work instead of embedding stuff in the template? Thx for the trick!

Yes, you're right I will ask our developers.

Hi Pawel,
I change gk_creativity\html\com_content\article\default.php

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->modified, JText::_('F j, Y')); ?> 

for

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->modified, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>

it works like a charm but I still have the same trouble with article intro in the blog section which file should i alter?
Thx.

Check those files:
BLOG VIEW
gk_creativity\html\com_content\category\blog_item.php
FEATURED VIEW
gk_creativity\html\com_content\featured\default_item.php

Thx Pawel , files update with following code

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->modified, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>

fixes the date format. I think developpers should code with this native date format . I still have problem with others variables like (category:...) that shows up in english in article and in native language (categorie:....) in the blog section

Thanks,
I have informed about it our developer team.
