[VoViaN]

How van I  change date format from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY in the News module? I use cmsms 1.0b3. Thank you!

News module has a parameter to format the date - please look at modules help.

For the parameters look here

Hi, I want to know this too... where can I find the parameter in the news module? I've looked through the code and can't see it. Can you tell me what line it's on?

Hi,

I've problem with date format:

I've set: {cms_module module='news' number='5' dateformat="%d-%m-%Y"}

so, the date format is: 09-06-2006

It works for News Summary, but in News Detail - I've still have the default format: 08/21/2006

Why doesn't it work for both?

(CMSMS 0.13 News 2.0.3)

A bit late, but still relevant.
The trick is to put the formatting by going to Content >> News. Then click on the options tab and enter the following code into the box for the date format

Code: Select all

%A %e %B %Y

That should give you day date month year every time.

Cheers,
