date of post

1 lauren Sep 12, 2006 22:36

sorry, I have used "search" but I have not found answers. I have installed the 1.8 and the date of the posts is visualized like this: 11.9.06
I would like to visualize it like this: monday, 11th september 2006
how I can to do this?
thank you and sorry for my bad english

Do you want it that way when you are viewing your blog via index.php (so with your skin), or in the backoffice (admin.php)

3 lauren Sep 13, 2006 00:34

in my blog via index.php ;)

4 lauren Sep 13, 2006 00:38

moreover, I visualize the smilies in the backoffice, when I insert a post, but the smilies in the comments there aren't and therefore they cannot be inserted in the comments. I don't know the code for to make appear them for to use in the comments :(

5 balupton Sep 13, 2006 00:47

For the date display, open up your skin's _main.php and look for;

$Item->issue_time();

And replace with

$Item->issue_time('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A');

Or to do specificly what you wanted, this

$Item->issue_time('l, dS F Y');

For the smilies, post that as another topic, its fixable, and someone that knows how can answer that :)

Have fun ;)

great! :D
thank you :-*

7 hudson2001 Sep 13, 2006 02:22

Awesome! I was coming here to ask the same thing!

8 hudson2001 Sep 13, 2006 03:11

I spoke too soon. There is no

$Item->issue_time();

in my main php file. In fact, there is no "time" at all.

What to do now?? :) I am using [url=http://skins.b2evolution.net/a.php?skin=TicTac]TicTac[/url].

Hmmm, I think that's what I have open. The file I have opened is in blogs/skins/tictac/_main.php:

12 hudson2001 Sep 13, 2006 04:53

After some trial and error, it works if you put it in PHP terms. :D

BUT (isn't there always a but?)..... I wanted to change a different date than that one. That changes the date/time/day of the post in the actual post, as in:

Tuesday, 12th September 2006 Categories: News, Recipes

and I was hoping to change the main date, as seen on the identical skin I use at [url=http://www.hudson2001.com/jen/blog/]blogger[/url] - you see where it says Friday, September 08, 2006? On the b2evo skin, it just says 9/12/06.

13 balupton Sep 13, 2006 13:32

Replace;

   <?php 
   echo T_('Categories'), ': '; 
   $Item->categories();

With

   <?php 
   echo $Item->issue_time('l, F dS, Y');
   echo T_('Categories'), ': '; 
   $Item->categories();

For more info on date formats read this;
http://au3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

14 hudson2001 Sep 13, 2006 15:02

That didn't work, either. :(

It changed the date/time of the actual post, but NOT the main date line that appears above the post. See what I mean [url=http://www.hudson2001.com/blogs/]here[/url].

15 balupton Sep 13, 2006 15:14

K remove that change and do this.

Replace

if( isset($MainList) ) while( $Item = $MainList->get_item() ) { 
   $MainList->date_if_changed(); // display post date if it changed

With

if( isset($MainList) ) while( $Item = $MainList->get_item() ) { 
   $MainList->date_if_changed('<h2>','</h2>','l, F dS, Y'); // display post date if it changed

16 hudson2001 Sep 13, 2006 17:36

Nope, nothing. See http://www.hudson2001.com/blogs/index.php - it still just has the date. Just to make sure, here's what that entire section of code says:

<?php // -------- START OF POSTS -------- 
if( isset($MainList) ) $MainList->display_if_empty(); // Display message if no post
if( isset($MainList) ) while( $Item = $MainList->get_item() ) { 
   $MainList->date_if_changed('<h2>','</h2>','l, F dS, Y'); // display post date if it changed
	locale_temp_switch( $Item->locale ); // Temporarily switch to post locale
	$Item->anchor(); // Anchor for permalinks to refer to
	?>

As a sidenote, I tried to change the other code back and it didn't work - now there's nothing there in the way of times and I can't get it back to what it was - but I can revert it when I get home (to an older saved version).

17 balupton Sep 14, 2006 00:15

Can you attach a copy of your _main.php file, and i will make the changes myself and see if i can get it working?

18 hudson2001 Sep 14, 2006 00:33

THANKS!!!

FYI, though: I reverted back to what I started with at the beginning - with the time on the same line as the category.

In a perfect world, I would like the dates of the [url=http://www.hudson2001.com/blogs/index.php]new blog[/url] to look like the [url=http://www.hudson2001.com/jen/blog/]old blog[/url].

19 balupton Sep 14, 2006 01:46

I just applied what i said in the previous post and it is working fine on my side...

20 hudson2001 Sep 14, 2006 03:27

It works! AWESOME!!!!! Thank you SOOOO much!!

I'm not sure what happened before - I probably accidentally erased something while I was cutting and pasting! Now I just have to find the place in my css sheet to change the size! WOO HOO!!!

21 hudson2001 Sep 15, 2006 03:25

Okay, one last teeny tiny thing (I tried to go to that site you gave earlier but it had trouble loading)...

How can I get rid of the THs and RDs on the dates (i.e. 3rd, 4th)? I assume it's one of those letters you added in that sequence?

Thanks, you're the bomb. :D

22 balupton Sep 15, 2006 04:19

K try;
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

And to answer your question remove the capital S.

23 filthio Oct 09, 2006 00:00

What a great hack - it was one of the first things I tried to do with my spiffy new 1.8 installation and you answered it for me before I even asked. I inserted the fix you recommended and it worked first time. I was even able to adjust the order of the date (being English, I like to say D,M,Y not M,D,Y) as required. So thanks.
:)
And one more thing - is there a way of stripping out the extra 0 in dates with a single digit?

(edit) Oh, actually, I sorted that one out myself by a bit of RTFM. To strip out leading zeros the date format code should read jS not dS. Simple!

Form is loading...
