date format of News module

hi,
I have been trying the dateformat parameter of the news module because I want the day/month/Year format.
The problem is that the dateformat parameter only changes the format of the summarytemplate, and not the detailtemplate.
I tryed to put this {strftime($entry->formatpostdate)} in the detailtemplate but is throwing an error.
Any suggestion?
thanks in advance

This has been fixed in the SVN version of the News module.
In News SVN in the Options Tab there is a now a "Format to display the article's post date with." blank and if you put something like this in the blank:
%A, %b %d, %Y
Then, in the News Detail template, you can use
to get dates like:
Thursday, Jun 29, 2006
The nightly SVN snapshot doesn't seem to be generated anymore on this page:
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/scm/?group_id=8
You'll either have to check it out with TortoiseSVN or Subversion or wait for the next version of the News module to be released. It requires CMSMS 1.0-svn so if you want to use it you will need to upgrade CMSMS to 1.0-svn also.
I run the SVN version of most of my sites. I have SVN News and CMSMS running here:

Hope this helps.

Too complicated for nothing.
Why not use smarty modifiers ?
Code: Select all
{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%e %B, %Y"}

I hadn't thought of that. Good idea.

Thanks - Just what I have been looking for to, to change the date format on the news template.
Using this type of approach:
{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%e %B, %Y"}

Does anyone know how to make a "setLocale" easily for the News module's date?
By default, the date is in english and i want to have it in french and italian or german...

1) Create a User Defined Tag with the following code inside
.
2) Named it has you wish. For instance,
SetToFrench.
3) Insert
{SetToFrench} on to top of the page that needs it.

Hmmm thanx for the User Tag, I didn't think about it...
The thing that I've already tried to make a "setLocale(LC_TIME,'french');" on the top of my page in the template and it does not do anything on the news date
I call the news date with "$entry->formatdate".
Any idea why it does not work?

You need to apply
the patch I've created for the News module so it can process user tags. Developpers are very slow integrating this solution in the official release. They told me they are to busy to notice patch submissions.
If you are not familiar with SVN patches, take a look at
this explicite description of the solution.

did you use the {literal}your stuff {/literal} tags in the Source botton view to make your tag...
