[SOLVED] Display item creation date and year was created by Eugen
Hello,
On English demo site i see items have creation date AND YEAR displayed:
websitedev2.uni.me/index.php?option=com_k2&view=latest&layout=latest&Itemid=453

While on my site (Russian & Romanian) items have only month date displayed:
www.principiuldivin.md/ro/blog

Any ideas what options or files should i check to get the year displayed?

Thanks a lot.

I think you have some errors in your syntax.

You need to double check your values according to this: php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

The first one seems fine.
Did you use language overrides (one for each language)?
docs.joomla.org/J2.5:Language_Overrides_in_Joomla

If you didn't then you should because your changes will be lost when you updaate.

I have tried it, but it did not change anything. Am i applying it to wrong files?

As soon as i will see it working straight I'll apply it as an override.

Thank you.

the language files are located at: languages/en-GB(or ru-RU etc..)/com_k2.ini

You need to change these strings:
K2_DATE_FORMAT="%d/%m/%Y - %H:%M"
K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2="%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M"
K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC="%A, %d %B %Y"

For the administrator lang files the path is /adminstrator/languages/....

Check your site using the system template (by using ?template=system as a URL suffix) to make sure that the template developer has not replace these default strings.
