Change date format in News Module?

[photo2pictures]

Where can I change the date format string for the news module, so it actually works. The user preferences for date format is not working?

[velden]

Code: Select all

{$entry->postdate|cms_date_format}

That should print the date in format you configured in Site Admin >> Global Settings >> 'Date Format String'.

However note that when you're trying to e.g. print month and/or date names in a specific language, you're server must have those languages 'installed/configured'.

I have that code applied to the templates, but it still don´t react on changes in the user preferences Language related settings. I even made the field "Date Format String" empty, but there is still no reaction?

Maybe I do it wrong..?

Alternatively

Code: Select all

{$entry->postdate|date_format:'%d %m %Y'}
