CBB 3.04 Date Format Change

In posts, the date the user registered is shown under their avatar in the format YYYY/mm/dd.

I have searched the Admin section thinking there was an option to change the format, but no luck. I also looked through several php files looking for where $topic_post.poster.regdate is defined but no luck. I'm using CBB 3.04 and XOOPS 2.0.13.2.

Where can I change the date format for CBB?

I *think* that you change it in the globals.php file. Check out this FAQ on changing date and time formats. I had to do this a couple of months ago and I *believe* this is the way.

Yea, checked there and I have all three dates:

define("_DATESTRING","n/j/Y G:i:s");
define("_MEDIUMDATESTRING","n/j/Y G:i");
define("_SHORTDATESTRING","n/j/Y");


set as I like, yet CBB is displaying a different way.

Short of hacking a template/module, anyone have any suggestions?

I just ran across this the other day with one of my sites. You can change this in modules/newbb/language/english/main.php.

thanks, but this file contains the text for the item (e.g. "Joined:"). I'm looking to change from YYYY/MM/DD to DD/MM/YYYY.

Sorry about that, but when I changed this in modules/newbb/language/english/main.php:

Quote:
// !!IMPORTANT!! insert '\' before any char among reserved chars: "a", "A","B","c","d","D","F","g","G","h","H",
"i","I","j","l","L","m","M","n","O","r","s","S","t",
"T","U","w","W","Y","y","z","Z"
// insert double '\' before 't', 'r', 'n'
define("_MD_TODAY", "\T\o\d\a\y G:i:s");
define("_MD_YESTERDAY", "\Y\e\s\\t\e\\r\d\a\y G:i:s");
define("_MD_MONTHDAY", "n/j G:i:s");
define("_MD_YEARMONTHDAY", "Y/n/j G:i");


the joined date changed...

Obviously your system is different than mine

Thanks. I tracked it down to user.php in newbb/class. the Format in there is Y-m-d. So I changed it there. So you noticed yours changed just by adding the backslashes?


Thanks,
Kurt

Thanks MSDANA...I changed the format. Curious as to why several modules use different date formats, that are not easily changed.

Thanks again,
Kurt

Just to keep this up-to-date, the first suggestion (main.php) works on xbb 3.05 without needing the second (user.php).

The original appears commented out & an alternative is below it.

//define("_MD_TODAY", "Today G:i:s");
//define("_MD_YESTERDAY", "Yes\te\rday G:i:s");
//define("_MD_MONTHDAY", "n/j G:i:s");
//define("_MD_YEARMONTHDAY", "Y/n/j G:i");

define("_MD_TODAY", "Today G:i");
define("_MD_YESTERDAY", "Yes\te\rday G:i");
define("_MD_MONTHDAY", "j/n/y G:i");
define("_MD_YEARMONTHDAY", "j/n/y G:i");
