Countdown - date format - y/m/d to d/m/y

kinay

Hello,

How to display the date on the site in the format day/month/year

on the JoomlArt Advanced Custom Module, Countdown?
https://www.marcheconcours.ch/fr/
2. On the Event item counter?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hello

Thank you, it works. Now the countdown is wrong, it should display 85 days and not 115 days,

Best regards.

Hi,

If you want to change the date formate only, revert your above change first.

Then open this file: /acm/countdown/tmpl/style-1.php

Line 49, replace this line of code:

<?php echo $helper->get('downdate'); ?>

by this:

<?php echo date('d-m-Y', strtotime($helper->get('downdate'))); ?>

Hello,

Thank you, this solution is perfect.
Do I have to make this change after each update of the template?

Best regards.

To be on more safer side and avoid specific file from being overridden while updating the template, You can isolate the settings and customizations by making use of local folder as defined here

Example -

Copy the whole parent folder - /acm/ along with sub folders to {root}/templates/{template-name}/local folder
Thereafter, You may make further edits in files from parent local folder

Hope this helps 🙂
