I have been searching through your documentation on the JA_Social template looking for an instruction on how and where we need to edit the format of the Date/Time Display of the template but not having any luck in locating this. Would someone kindly tell me where I can find this information so that we can effect these changes?

Thank you. If you will look at http://muzocial.com you will notice that the Date displayed is not in a proper format and what I would like to see is the Day, Month, Date being displayed as: Thursday, November, 12th

I am not a php programmer so I could use some instruction as to what I need to edit in this php file in order to achieve this display.:)

To show your date in this way make these changes to the topbar.php
Find this line of code

<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 the character m to F so the new code will be

<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>";
?>

Save the file and refresh your frontend page
