Hello,

Actually I need to know the same. In J3.1 you can change the date format settings using overrides.

Extensions > Language Manager > Overrides

Then click "New"

But the problem is, I've changed all these :

Code:

DATE_FORMAT_LC
DATE_FORMAT_LC1
DATE_FORMAT_LC2
DATE_FORMAT_LC3
DATE_FORMAT_LC4
DATE_FORMAT_JS1

But the date format is still wrong on the news?

Please can someone help?

Thanks!

Sorted it..

Find /templates/hot_wine/html/mod_articles_news/_item.php

Edit line 12 in "_item.php"

FROM:

Code:

<?php echo '<div class="newsflash_date">'.JText::sprintf(JHtml::_('date',$item->created, JText::_('m. d. Y'))).'</div>';?>

TO:

Code:

<?php echo '<div class="newsflash_date">'.JText::sprintf(JHtml::_('date',$item->created, JText::_('d. m. Y'))).'</div>';?>
