Hello,

Before to start, excuse me for my english 😉 I’m french guy !
I like to know how to change the date format in article ?
I’ll like to have a long format like in the demo website : i.e : Monday, 26 February 2007

For the moment I have only : 26-02-2007

Thanks for your help 🙂

Thanks for your answer.

yes I know the date is include in png logo !

But i’m not speaking about the logo, I’m just speaking about the frontpage articles.
(Just under “Cool Workspace” in the demo)

open /language/english.php file and search for _DATE_FORMAT_LC. there you can change it.

it looks like this for the dateformat in Demo:

[PHP]DEFINE(‘_DATE_FORMAT_LC’,”%A, %d %B %Y”); //Uses PHP’s strftime Command Format[/PHP]

and if you use a french laguage file, than maybe you have to change /language/french.php

you have to change for example

[PHP]DEFINE(‘_DATE_FORMAT_LC’,”%d-%m-%Y”);[/PHP]

to

[PHP]DEFINE(‘_DATE_FORMAT_LC’,”%A, %d %B %Y”); [/PHP]

you can modify this line how you like.

for conversion specifiers look here http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

i´m not sure but i think you have to change in your language file /language/french.php

[PHP]DEFINE(‘_ISO’,’charset=iso-8859-1′);[/PHP]

to

[PHP]DEFINE(‘_ISO’,’charset=iso-8559-1′);[/PHP]

Edit: You can change it from Backend of your Joomla, just go to Global Configuration >> Locale and replace en_GB with fr_FR
