Date formatting / postDate

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi!

I'd like to format the date in the Forum List and elsewhere (e.g. lpi.postDate). Is there a way to format it right in the .htm template file?

Best,
Michael

You can set the date format used in your jforum-custom.conf file with the dateTime.format property. E.g.:

dateTime.format = dd MMM yy HH\:mm zzz

Will produce: 28 Mar 07 9:45 EDT

Note the time zone / month name are based on your server's locale setting.

The format string is used by the Java SimpleDateFormat class. See the Javadocs for this for details on all the formatting elements.
