Hey there,

We currently don't perform any "formatting" on the date but you can edit the file /administrator/components/com_easyblog/themes/default/fields/types/display/date.php and replace the codes below:

<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> <?php echo $data->value;?>

With,

<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> 

<?php echo JFactory::getDate($data->value)->format(JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC'));?>

Hi Mark,

using latest easyblog and don't have a ...com_easyblog/themes/default/.... folder image attached

Hey Peter,

It's the "administrator" folder

Ahhh got ya - sorry me not paying attention

Ok this HALF worked! It changed the date correctly in each post, BUT not in listing page, it takes the first date of the first post and applies it to all the posts but the actual posts when clicked are correct. See image

Hello Peter,

Can you provide us your backend and FTP access so we can have a better look on your issue here?

Hi Nik,
how do i get those details to you without it being in the open forum?
check this out so far: http://saffaevents.com/eventsfp

You can do so by adding them in http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site

Added details - hope you can sort before you close tonight

Hey Peter,

With all due respect and I hope you don't take this personally, but please:

1. This is a customization, please do not rush us. We are trying our best to help you achieve what you need for your client but this is out of good faith without charging you a single penny.

2. It's a weekend here. I believe you deserve a break, what more the team here. Again, rushing us wouldn't help as it will just slow us down from helping you.

3. The FTP access which you provided only contains the username and it doesn't contain the password

Hi Mark -
You are on the ball I was expecting this to be on the list for Monday and was not expecting a response over the weekend
Enjoy the weekend - i will update the FTP details now

Thanks I have applied some fixes for you and they should be working correctly now

Thank you Mark - what was it and will any updates destroy the 'fix'

Ok being a bit cheeky here - As you seen im using the blog for blogs and also to list events. Is there a way to display the events by the 'custom date field' by date order. I dont have a clue how to impliment this and its a free community site i provide for expats in the UK.
hoping you can steer me in the right direction.
thank you Mark

will def try that.

Hi Mark - thanks for the tip - sorta works - anyway i can make it ascending rather than descending? ie youngest created date first and oldest created date last?

Hey Peter,

Thanks for getting back to us that was work for you.

By the way, I already help you configured ascending from your frontpage post listing, can you give it a check is it anything work as you expected?

Hi Arlex -
I already tried the ascending order on frontpage but that's no good for my normal blog layout which has to be descending - BUT what i was trying to achieve was on the event category/menu to make that one page only ascending so people can see the next event to come always at the top.

It only has to be the one category / menu item and not all the blog.

Found a solution using the responsive grid for easyblog by Minitek - they allow adjustment by category with ascending or descending options

Thanks for updating Peter

Hi Mark -

i updated my site to latest version and hey ho - the custom date mentioned at the top of this post is broken again. I will have to implement the changes again but what can I do to make it permanent whenever the site is updated?

Hey Peter,

I will add an option in the next release version for allow admin to select which date format he want from backend.

Thanks Arlex - look forward to the update

Hi there,

You are most welcome.

As a gentle reminder, kindly start a new thread if you have any other issue in the future so it will be easier for us to manage your inquiry. I will lock and mark this thread as resolved.
