currently it is "Sun, 11 May 2003"

i'd like to use "Sun, 2003-05-11", or even simpler "2003-05-11"

thanks

(ps: i don't know php at all, i am expecting a more detailed answer such like: edit file xxx, change code "yyy" to "zzz")

You need to edit .tmpl files & change the format in tags that look like

{DATE: r[2] %a, %d %B %Y}

you need to change the list of parameters after the 2nd space "%a, %d %B %Y". To see the supported parameters (controlling appearance of date) read up on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Ilia - Can you be a little more specific as to which template files have to be altered to change the date/time format on the index and individual message pages? - I've looked at various files in the template editor and can't find a '{DATE' tag anywhere.

For what it's worth I think that this would be a good thing to build into the global settings page.

All date formats are stored inside a single template called: date_formats.tmpl

.... I am trying to get my 'message posted date' to show as follows:

17-Jan-2005 - 12:13:am

I tried to modify this section in the date_formats.tmpl file as follows:

{SECTION: dmsg_post_date}
{DATE: obj->post_stamp %d-%m-%Y - %h:%i:%A}
{SECTION: END}

However it displays incorrectly:

17-01-2005 - Jan:%i:Monday

Can you tell me where I'm going wrong please?

Chris

Is there another problem do you think?

It now works fine - thanks very much for you help on this! Very Happy

good...

for testing date format you may use date utility in Linux:
#>date +%d-%b-%Y-%I:%M:%P
