[SOLVED] date format

hallo there,

i see from the configuration about the date format that there are fixed options.

i want to hide entirely the time format from the frontend and for the date format i would like to insert a format of my own.

how can i achive that?

thank you!

Edit your datetime field then under Parameters > Display set "Profile View Display" to "Custom". Then set "Custom Time Format" to " " (yup, that's a space; needed for now as blank value will just fallback to default atm). Now adjust "Custom Date Format" as needed. The formatting it uses is the format variables allowed by PHPs date function.

hallo kyle,

i understand what you mean but i don`t need this. i use a plugin that it takes the global datetime configuation. i mean configuration-> General -> Date Format. The plugin uses the global configuration date time.

so how can i configure it?

thank you

You can't supply a custom global date and time configuration within CB > Configuration > General. It has to be configured on a use by use basis (e.g. if the plugin provides a parameter).

hallo there,

the plugin unfortunately does not offer an option to select a date format. it uses cb core general date format.

is there not any solution?

The only alternative is to use a language string to override the date format globally. To do this you need to have installed the English language plugin or some other language plugin as modifying the default_language is not advised. See the below for details regarding this.

Once done you need to add the following language strings to it, which you can supply your custom PHP date function format.
