I set the template settings as specified and pasted in your code, then cleared all caches. Still no effect.

I’m looking at the source code in Firebug and the html doesn’t even have any of those classes…. That CSS wouldn’t format the date text because the text isn’t using those classes. The date is created with the ja-createdate span class.

Here’s the code from the page itself:

<div class=”ja-sidenews-list clearfix”>
<div class=”ja-slidenews-item”>
<a class=”ja-title” href=”/index.php/news/categories/veteran/177-comptia-enlists-in-national-campaign-to-employ-us-veterans”>CompTIA Enlists in National Campaign to Employ U.S…</a>

As you can see, the date’s are using the ja-createdate span class, whereas in the demo completely different classes are used. In fact, the date is broken up into three different classes (span class date/month/year), in its own div (modulteItemDateCreated).

Here’s the code from the demo:

<div class=”ja-sidenews-list clearfix”>
<div class=”ja-slidenews-item”>

<a class=”ja-title” href=”/index.php/our-blog/85-nulla-cursus-massa-eget-mauris”>Nulla cursus massa eget mauris</a>

<img src=”/images/resized/images/stories/demo/storyk2/story4_25_25.jpg” align=”left” alt=”Nulla cursus massa eget mauris” title=”Nulla cursus massa eget mauris”>
<div class=”moduleItemDateCreated”>
<span class=”date”>16</span>
<span class=”month”>Feb</span>
<span class=”year”>2011</span>

</div>

Meanwhile, what blows my mind is the fact that in the PHP file that outputs all this HTML I can only find coding that mentions the ja-createdate code. I can’t find anything that mentions moduleItemDateCreated.

Here’s everything copied from the PHP file, default.php, found within modules/mod_jasidenews/tmpl

It’s like the demo is using some other code from somewhere else to output its date text. Am I just looking in the wrong file?

You download new ja_business (release: 8/5/2011) and reinstall it. After that, you follow my way.

emwebmaster,

Would you like me to take a look for you? If so please pm me an admin logon and ftp account details.

I have fully tested the file above so I know it works with the latest version as suggested by Khoand. The bug team are also investigating for a future release of this template. As I am sure you can appreciate, JA cannot package a complete new release for every tiny bug fix so small things like this may take a little while to appear in the release.

Reinstalling it and making those css tweaks seems to have done it. Thanks.

For the record, for anyone in the future who encounters this issue….the date formatting is taken from the Article Blog format. It uses the Created date, not the Published or Modified dates. Any Category Blog layout that displays the Created Date will show the dates like that.

Something, somewhere in the system takes that simple JText::_(‘DATE_FORMAT_LC4’)) format and converts it to the Article Blog’s fancy layout, from the ja-createdate class to the moduleItemDateCreated one.
