hi,
how can i change the date format in the Events Block? Also i could not find the block's template. I looked at config.php and modified to my needs. but event block displays date format different from config.php.
thanks

The Upcoming Events block uses $_CONF['dateonly'].

The block will the use the default blockheader / blockfooter template files, unless you override them in the theme's functions.php (set $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['events_block'] to the new files - see the functions.php of the Professional theme).

bye, Dirk

Thanks but i is not like that. it displays such:
Friday 25-Fri Mar 25 00:00:00 2005

from where i should look to correct this?

Okay, misunderstanding there: The name of the day is always there (it's hard-coded). $_CONF['dateonly'] is only used for what comes after the name of the day.

The function is COM_printUpcomingEvents() in lib-common.php

Dirk,
can you give me instructions for how to change it "month.day.year hour:minute" format? also which file to look at for hard-coded day name?
Lots of Thanks

i think that is tied to "local settings" in config.php

That would take longer to explain than to actually do

Sounds like a good opportunity to learn some PHP ...

Dirk,
i just want to change the format of date display. i dont want to write anything from scratch. just changing format. as a lot of options give in config.php and this one is forgotten. I really need your help.
