Date Format

On this page:

The date format is %Y-%m-%d, But I want it to be: %b %d, %Y

How do I do that? I've looked through joomla's code and cant find it!

But, In the sermonspeaker params the date format is set to %b %d, %Y and it works... kind of... it only changed the date format for the detail page not the list page...

The date is always done by the Joomla function JHTML::Date($date, $format, $timezone) . The $format is taken directly from the parameters and parsed by the language function: JText::_($this->params->get('date_format')).

This means that the date format is dependand on your language settings. If you have different languages for front- and backend, this can cause issues. Or if the language is the same, the language files can still be different. Check the following entries of your global Joomla language files (example is en-GB). They should be the same for your frontend file (eg language/en-GB/en-GB.ini) and backend file (eg administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.ini): The offered choises are all except "DATE_FORMAT_JS1"

If they are the same, then you could have set a different format in the menu entry under "Parameters (Component)". Make sure the correct one (or "use global") is selected there.

That's about it. Except if there is a system plugin or template function doing something weird.

Also, the icon layout does not make use of the dateformat selector. It has a fixed dateformat "DATE_FORMAT_LC1".

Checked:
Both en-gb files and they are the same.
Component (Parameters) is set to global.
No language plugins are installed.
This same date issue is happening on a second site so it can't be the template.

Don't know. Since I can't reproduce this behaviour on my site, I can't really help you.

Maybe you can try with JDump ( joomlacode.org/gf/project/jdump/ ) to dump different variables and see where something is going wrong?

Or maybe you just removed the whole JHTML::Date() and JText::_() stuff around the date when you moved the table cells around? If you echo the date directly without going through JHTML::Date(), then this would explain it as well. I can't tell without having the source code

Which files do you need to see?
I can give you temporary access?

If you want to give me an access I may have a look at it directly. But I would need access to the file system (either with Joomla Backend -> NinjaXplorer or something similar or with FTP).

The file I'm wondering is mainly the layout file fo your "videos" view. Most likely /components/com_sermonspeaker/views/videos/tmpl/default.php
