cb article tab php for date was created by jpdenny1

Just a quick question regarding the tab.php (mytemplate)for cb articles. I want to take out the time. My date format in configuration is dd/mm/yyyy. Shows like dd/mm/yyy 21:23 for articles list.

Line 73:

'<td style="width: 25%;" class="text-left hidden-xs">' . cbFormatDate( $row->get( 'created' ) ) . '</td>'.'</tr>';

Do I just splice in:

d.m.Y or d/m/Y somewhere?

Bit conscious of not breaking anything. If I can do as above where would I insert it.

Kind regards

See the below phpdoc for cbFormatDate. You can completely override the format using it. The formatting supplied needs to be PHP date function compatible.

Code:

	/**
	 * Offsets date-time if time is present and $serverTimeOffset 1, then formats to CB's configured date-time format.
	 *
	 * @param  int|string       $date                In "Y-m-d H:i:s" format, or 	int : unix timestamp
	 * @param  boolean          $serverTimeOffset    False: don't offset, true: offset if time also in $date
	 * @param  bool|string      $showTime            False don't show time even if time is present in string, timeago: show jquery timeago
	 * @param  null|string      $dateFormatOverride  Format override for date display
	 * @param  null|string      $timeFormatOverride  Format override for time display
	 * @param  null|string|int  $offsetOverride      Offset override for time display
	 * @return null|string
	 */
	function cbFormatDate( $date, $serverTimeOffset = true, $showTime = true, $dateFormatOverride = null, $timeFormatOverride = null, $offsetOverride = null ) {

Thanks Kyle, I'll have to do a bit of reading upon that at some point or get someone to refer back to this in future, as it's over my head. I customized my K2 layout with PHP but that was more moving stuff around and deleting.

Just another question on time if you don't mind. My site will be globally used by registered users. I have tested the timezone parameter - setting it to foreign time zones with no apparent difference occuring. It sticks with the Joomla timezone for e.g. posts etc and notification emails I think.

Am I missing something with this?What is it suppose to do (didn't see anything in Primer Book). Wonder does it have something to do with the phpdoc you supplied.

Kind regards

What timezone did you adjust? The one in Joomla global configuration or the one specifically for your user? CB always stores date and datetime as UTC and then offsets for display only so you can change the timezone at anytime to offset appropriately.

Hello. The one in parameters tab. At individual user level. (also has language etc in there).

So if someone sets it to Beijing time and they post/upload etc, their local time should appear for display only e.g cb blog, activity post etc. I thought that was what should happen.

Doesn't work for me but I will try again.

Kind regards

Edit: It does work my apologies. Was referring to a previous test I did, had older versions.
Still though for CB blogs for example the time says 03.57 for Havanna which should be PM. Better if the time was out altogether.
Ha. Edit: had it on 12 hour in CB.

So I've been thinking, your phpdoc shows how to adjust the time. Using the timezone parameter, the user sets this (the offset) themselves. But I was looking to take it out of the display. Actually for both CB Blogs and CB Articles in Userprofile view.

Date and datetime are always UTC offset by whatever timezone the viewing user has set in their account or the server timezone if they don't have a timezone set. You will not see entries in the timezone of the displayed user.

If you don't want to offset at all then set $serverTimeOffset to false. It's the second variable of cbFormatDate.
