Still seeking date help...

Hey folks,

It's been a couple of months and I'm still seeking an answer to this:

In Publisher, the article published date displays as simply month and date - how can I get the year to show as well?

Thank you.

Hi,
you have to add "Y" Year tag in article view and change some CSS.
I will check and add you more details...

Few useful tips:

1) Inside: templates/gk_publisher\html\com_content\article\default.php
2) Open in editor and in edit mode find:

Code: Select all

<time datetime="<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->created, DATE_W3C); ?>">
      <?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d M')); ?>
 </time>

You have to add "Y" after "M" (month) :

Code: Select all

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

3) Save changes
4) Override with this style to reduce size of font

Code: Select all

article > time {font-size: 22px; }

Thanks for that - certainly helpful (trying it now), but how would I go about adding the year to the date in the article itself - under the article title? It, too, simply shows the month and day in the Publisher template.

This same file line 106

Code: Select all

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

remove "." before "Y" , must be:

Code: Select all

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

Thank you! Very much appreciated
