I just noticed that the time/date is doing something weird in the JaSocial template I just installed. It shows as:

Sunday, 10 23rd Last update09:58:56 AM

I’m assuming that the 10 is October, but it looks so odd when displayed that way. How do you change that to say October instead?

Thanks!

Hi earthson

to change the format of the date goto templates/ja_social/blocks/topbar.php

now you have

<p class="ja-day">
<?php
echo "<span class="day">".JText::_(strtoupper(date ('l')))."</span>";
echo "<span class="date">, ".date ('m')." ".date ('d').date ('S')."</span>";
?>

change to

<p class="ja-day">
<?php
echo "<span class="day">".JText::_(strtoupper(date ('l')))."</span>";
echo "<span class="date">, ".date ('F')." ".date ('d').date ('S')."</span>";
?>

Where do I set on the admin back-end that date on the top of the page to synchronize with my local time. It currently show October 25 but it is now 26th in the Philippines. I already set the General Configuration my time to Manila but it has no effect on that date.

Thanks in advance.

Hi phicts

try this way in your topbar.php

<p class="ja-day">
<?php
$timezone = "Asia/Manila";
if(function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
echo "<span class="day">".JText::_(strtoupper(date ('l')))."</span>";
echo "<span class="date">, ".date ('F')." ".date ('d').date ('S')."</span>";
?>
