Hey Mel,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. You need to be specific as to which field are you referring to here so that I can review the field and provide you with an answer.

My apologies Mark (tired)

I meant the custom field of type Date in Easyblog 5x.

It is showing in US dat format and I need to make it UK format.

Mel

Hey Mel,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Currently there is no formatting for the dates output as it just displays what is stored in the database. If you want, you can modify the file /administrator/components/com_easyblog/themes/default/fields/types/display/date.php and locate the codes below at line 15,

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

Replace it with,

<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> <?php echo JFactory::getDate($data->value)->format(JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC'));?>

This will use the locale that is defined in your language file.

Hi Mark,

thanks so much. That works!

I suppose would need to change this each time I upgrade?

Kind regards

Mel

Hi Mel,

You are welcome. Yes you need to keep this change as backup since we do not include this in our repository.
