How can I change JA Methys when showing a K2 Blog so that it also shows the year in the date. See the original below:

Hi,
– Open <joomla url>templatesja_methyshtmlcom_contentfrontpagedefault_item.php file
– Replace


//$createYear = date('Y', strtotime( $created));
with
$createYear = date('Y', strtotime( $created));
– Replace

<!-- <span class="year"><?php echo $createYear; ?></span> -->
with
<span class="year"><?php echo $createYear; ?></span>

That is a good start and it is interesting to see that it was there originally and then commented out. However, making those changes does not echo the year. I suspect there needs to be some css changes as well??

Edit: It did work after all…seems to have been a browser cache issue that didn’t show the changes right away. I made the changes (in many cases it wasn’t already available and edited out) in the following additional files:

templatesja_methyshtmlcom_contentcategoryblog_item.php
templatesja_methyshtmlcom_contentsectionblog_item.php
templatesja_methyshtmlcom_k2templatesja_methys_blogcategory_item.php
templatesja_methyshtmlcom_k2templatesja_methys_blogitem.php

and I also made the following changes to the code in k2.css
from:


.blogDate span.date,
div.itemBlogView div.itemDateCreated span.date {
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
font-size: 250%;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
padding: 5px 0 1px 0;
}

.blogDate span.month,
div.itemBlogView div.itemDateCreated span.month {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 92%;
letter-spacing: 1.5px;
}


to:


.blogDate span.date,
div.itemBlogView div.itemDateCreated span.date {
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
font-size: 175%;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
padding: 2px 0 1px 0;
}

.blogDate span.month,
div.itemBlogView div.itemDateCreated span.month {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 92%;
letter-spacing: 1.5px;
}

.blogDate span.year,
div.itemBlogView div.itemDateCreated span.year {
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
font-size: 60%;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
letter-spacing: 1px;
}


Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.

Now looks like:

In the example provided, you need to modify it for Joomla 2.5. Change the above to

$createYear = date('Y', strtotime( $this->item->created));
