Hi everyone!

I'd like to eliminate the week day (monday, tuesday, etc) from the posted articles.

Basically I'd need to change the following:

to this:

Anyone knows how to do it? Is it possible to achieve the same in the Old Articles block? How?

Thank you very much in advance Smile

I think to do that you'd have to write a little function that takes $time and explodes it into parts and then pick the parts you'd like to display.

See php manual
Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

There are several snippets of example code that should get you started.

Unless someone else has done this in a theme then you could just copy over their code.

Thank you very much for your advice, but I am not an advanced php user. I actually do not know how to do what you mentioned... Sad

Ok here it is then done in DeepBlue example:
Find:
formatAidHeader($aid);
Below that add
list($tmon, $tdat, $tyr) = explode(" ", $time);

Below that edit this line like so:
echo " "._ON." $tdat $tyr $timezone ($counter "._READS.")<br></font>\n"

I just noticed my names didn't match up very good there try ordering them like
list($tyr, $tdat, $tmon) = explode(" ", $time);

Then I think you'll get

$tyr = year
$tdat = date
$tmon = month

Ok, thank you Smile

I have a few questions: what file(s) should I modify? Does this change involve ONLY the articles or it affects the forum too? I'm asking this because I don't want the date format to be changed in the forum...

Sorry just the theme.php of the theme of choice.

No won't effect any other areas of the site.

Unfortunately, It does not work. Or at least I was not able to let it work Smile

Basically I have this problem. If you visit my site

http://www.whatisthematrix.it

you can see that some articles in the HP have the full date (Posted by morpheus on Sabato, aprile 03 @ 17:18:24 CEST), while others lack the day of the week (Posted by morpheus on , aprile 14 @ 19:46:58 CEST).

How can this be possible?

Any idea on this? Confused

Raven? Chat?

Problem solved. It was a language problem related to the theme I use. I put everything in english and now everything works properly...
