 How do I change the "x days ago" to an actual date posted? <body class="bx-def-font" onload="if(!document.body) { document.body = document.getElementById('body'); }; h = new BxHistory(); document.h = h; return h.init('h');"> If this is the correct place to make that change, how is that accomplished? 7.3.5 with responsive UNI |
No, you have to go into the code for the particular section of the site that generates the code for the date. Then you change it according to the php date function to display a date instead of the ageing. Ageing is OK for short time periods but as you can see here on the forums, having 28763 days ago gets to meaning nothing LOL. Geeks, making the world a better place |
Since what firebug revealed isn't what I should alter, then what string should I be searching for? This is what I would like to use: $dateFormat = "F j, Y, g:i a"; The only place I found that was in membership_levels.inc.php 7.3.5 with responsive UNI |
I was told the place to make the changes that would affect the entire site and now the desired format of Aug 17, 2013 - 9:48 pm is there. Unfortunately, All the dates/times are stuck on the same Jan 1, 1970 - 1:00 am. Not only that, but Orca is *still* showing the "xx" amount of days ago to reference postings. Here's the code changed in inc/utilities.inc.php: function getLocaleDate($sTimestamp = '', $iCode = BX_DOL_LOCALE_DATE_SHORT) { $sFormat = (int)$iCode == 6 ? 'r' : getLocaleFormat($iCode);
return date('M j,Y - g:i a', $iTime); }
Would someone kindly tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it? Thank you! 7.3.5 with responsive UNI |
I changed it in the modules. For example, changing the blog from ageing to date. Sounds like you are pulling out the original UNIX timestamp instead of the current. Geeks, making the world a better place |
As in this post of mine: http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Post-Date-instead-of-Post-Ageing-.htm Geeks, making the world a better place |
Don't forget that ORCA is actually a separate application that is integrated into Dolphin. Go into ORCA to fix it; I did that as well but a lot of this stuff was done and then I forget. Geeks, making the world a better place |

That's where I was told to change to affect the entire site. Although I agree with your statement in the post you link to (http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Post-Date-instead-of-Post-Ageing-.htm) that it would make much more sense to have this in a central place, I'm willing to go through and change mod by mod. From what you wrote, I gather there isn't a set directory or string to search for - No common denominator of where to go to make the change? This is going to be fun... I'm not going to mess with Orca, as I've made arrangements to replace it with another forum. It would be nice to have the date/time displayed in a uniform manner with the rest of the site though. 7.3.5 with responsive UNI |

Would someone kindly tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it? Thank you! It's returning a incorrect date because you used the wrong variable when changing it. https://www.deanbassett.com |
Thank you, Dean! I got that variable from the site that promotes stuff you can get for $5.00. Obviously, their php help isn't worth a plug nickel... 7.3.5 with responsive UNI |
