Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding CGBlog published date... I'd like to customize it's appearance but to do so, I need to do something like this:

Code: Select all

{if $entry->postdate}
	<div class="CGBlogSummaryPostdate latest-news-date pull-left mr45">
		<span class="date pull-left">{$smarty.now|date_format:"%d"}</span>
		<span class="month text-uppercase pull-left">{$smarty.now|date_format:"%B"}</span>
		<span class="year">{$smarty.now|date_format:"%Y"}</span>
	</div>
{/if}

Of course, this kind of date format shows today's date always... How can I force it to use each post's date of publishing?
Thank you in advance and keep safe!

Can you not just use $entry->postdate instead of $smarty.now? Or am I missing something?

Remember that you can use <pre>{$entry|print_r}</pre> in your templates to see what information is available.

I'm really not that good in smarty and maybe my explanation was not clear enough. On attached pic you can see what I'm trying to do (design of 'date posted') and the only way to do it - the only one I can think of

- is to break it in three parts: day, month, year. But I don't know how to extract it from blog's post.

In the sample you provided, replace $smarty.now with $entry->postdate
