Dates Configuration

Tuan,

I am having a problem altering the dates configuration and even following the PHP method linked from the back end of the site I cant seem to get it to work correctly.

I am trying to change the date on events on the front end from looking like this: 16-02-2013 to this: 16th Feb 2013. Hoping to go live with event booking on my site in 2 days. Loving the new version with Deposit payments option by the way! Keep up the good work!

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy

Are you using Joomla 1.5 or Joomla 2.5 ? If so, you can change the event date format config option to :

j M Y

See php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for list of supported parameters

Tuan

Tuan,

I am using J1.5 but when entering the date format j M Y I literally get the letters j M Y in the event date but the weird thing is if I enter nothing into any of the date config boxes I get date looking like this: Sunday, 03 June 2012 which is too long, I just want eg: 3rd June 2012 but even following the PHP guidelines I still cant get this?

Hi

The suggested format only works with Joomla 2.5. If you are using Joomla 1.5, you can use the format below :

%d %b %Y

(See php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php to see list of supported parameters) .
