date format

Hi,

where can I set the date format of the articles in the news2 template? My articles are all made with K2. In the template setting I don't find anything about the date. Now is Month day, year and I would like it as day moth year.
Thank you.

A lot of file editing to do, so in 2 parts:
Please edit those files:
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_content/archive/default_items.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_content/article/default.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_content/featured/default_item.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/generic.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/default/latest_item.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/default/tag.php
/templates/gk_news2/html/com_k2/templates/default/user.php

and in each please find:

Code: Select all

'F j, Y'


and replace it with:

Code: Select all

'j F Y'


More on date formatting:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time
(I know its WordPress article, but is describes the use of php date() which is exactly same on every system that uses it).

And now - for the modules on homepage - you need to edit each of them, then go to "Article layout" tab, show "Information block" section and make the same change as described above in "Date format" field.

thank you very much Cyberek, now is ok, but in the HP, in the Highlight module in position banner-left it doesn't display "date" and "published by" anymore. Do you know why? I attach you the image with the settings so you can see that they are set as before.... the website is always www.lodicitta.it/gavick_news2
Thank you again.

It happened after you have changed date format? Could you check if bringing it back to original shows this info correctly?

I have replaced all files with originals (infact the date within the article is mont, day year) but it doesn't display it in highlights module.... do you know why?

Files should be intact - as they define how single blog posts and blog roll looks like.
Perhaps you have disabled showing this info in NSP module for homepage?

sorry....I realized that I've hidden the information..... now is ok. I will go on with the changes about the date format within the articles and let you know.

Great. Please let me know if I you will need my assistance.
