My original question was: How do I format the creation date of the content items, so that it displays “July 10, 2007” instead of “Tuesday, 10 July 2007”
SOLUTION:
In language/english.php change lines 421 and 422 –
Original lines 421-422:
DEFINE('_DATE_FORMAT_LC',"%A, %d %B %Y"); //Uses PHP's strftime Command Format
DEFINE('_DATE_FORMAT_LC2',"%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M");
Replace them with new lines 421-422:
DEFINE('_DATE_FORMAT_LC',"%B %d, %Y"); //Uses PHP's strftime Command Format
DEFINE('_DATE_FORMAT_LC2',"%B %d, %Y %H:%M");
Generally, a good reference for formatting a date in php can be found here:
