XF 2.3 <xf:date format question

[Anatoliy]

I like how it displays for older dates - Aug 10, 2024. However for resent dates it displays as Today at 12:00 AM, Yesterday at 12:00 AM... Is there some way so dates would always display in Aug 10, 2024 format? (even today's and yesterday's)

I use this code

<xf:date time="$note.post_date" />

{{ date($timestamp) }}

It works! Thank you!!!

I've been wanting to do that too, sometimes the date is a bit to long in that format

{{ date($timestamp) }}

Where do you make that change?

 

[Jeremy P]

In the template for the corresponding add-on, it’s not a global change.

Darn, I've been looking for a global solution.

Surprised there is not a way to have just a standard date in settings.

I don't need all the yesterday, today and time stamp stuff, it tends to cut off in some sections and a shorter standard date is just much cleaner.

I remember I used forum software back a number of years that had a setting like that.

Anyone find a global solution for this yet?

Can't you do it under language? Edit say English and you have a tab for dates and times. Not in front of a XF to test it.

 

[MapleOne]

Yeah I tried those, it keeps things like Monday, or Yesterday, I'm just looking for the date,

Jul 27, 2025

So three starting letters of Month, Day, year

 

[fords8]

Did you try the php format?

 

[MapleOne]

Yes, a no go, it still has Yesterday and stuff

Since I have no way to test it before telling you to try something, it is best that I leave the chat.
