Date format in Zentools 2

iorbita

Hello,
I need to change date format (e.g. 2020-02-26 to 26-02-2020) from calendar type custom field that has been integrated into a Zentools 2 module, where to make this change?

Thank you

Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Kindly share the credentials of your site and the page where I can see this date, I will take a look.

You can edit Fields in your first post and add URL, admin + FTP account there: https://cl.ly/3y3R0p24250G

Hello Saguaros and thank you for your reply.
Credentials sent.
To be more precise, I would like to modify format date on module view and not directly on custom field plugin view, apparently with this approach we don’t touch the database...

Thank you again,

Lorenzo

Hello,
... any news about this subject?

Hi,

I checked your site and saw that date is a custom field you added for the article. This custom field has type of 'Calendar'.

This calendar field uses the constant DATE_FORMAT_LC4 for date and DATE_FORMAT_LC5 for date & time by default in Joomla.

So I go to the language overrides and edit the values for this constant: DATE_FORMAT_LC4 to d-m-Y (screenshot) and it's showing fine now on your site

For more value for PHP date function, you can check out here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

... thank you very much Saguaros for this clarification 😉

Have a great day,

Lorenzo
