date time format for article data

Big supporter of your work and GK5 is a stable part of many of my sites. But finally I have a question for the forum.
When using GK5 in the standard mode, as I am in a variant of the University Template I need to display the date of publication of articles. OK easy to do, make the format change to the US style and enable the first information block. BUT to match the way all other articles get the date displayed I need a trick to code the date format.
My best option so far has been to have it as a small line, but I really want the square box date format. I can see that a code hack will work, but anybody experience at overrides and using some of the less obvious trick help me out?

Hi

Unfortunately I'm not quite sure What You mean, but if You have already found a way to make it with a hack, than go ahead. Newest NSP version has an option so files can be override in template's /html/mod_news_pro_gk5 folder. You just need to make the same style name as in portal_modes folder.

E.g. /thml/portal_modes/events_list/controller.php
