Hi

In mod_easybloglatestblogs > tmpl > default_item.php the date shows wrong: "10 september 2015", I want it to be "10. september 2015", but nothing happens when I edit this line:

<?php echo $post->getCreationDate()->format($params->get('dateformat', JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2'))); ?>
Tried using DATE_FORMAT_LC1, but no changes?

Regards
Thomas
Hi Thomas,

I am sorry for the confusion here. Latest blog module actually have their own date format settings from your backend > modules > latest blog module > post attributes > date format, http://screencast.com/t/osTPmZGn . Hence regardless of date format that you modify inside default_item.php it will always follow the settings mentioned above.

I've helped you to change the date format to l, j. F Y and it should displaying correctly now.

Hi Thomas,

May I know what is the value of your DATE_FORMAT_LC1 and DATE_FORMAT_LC2 inside your language file? If you want to change the date format you need to change it directly from your language file.

Hi...

DATE_FORMAT_LC1: l, j. F Y
DATE_FORMAT_LC2: l, j. F Y H:i

But this is not what I see in the frontend...

Can you pass me your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can take a closer look on the issue?

Hi Thomas,

It seems like the provided FTP is not correct for me.

Please advise.
