Date format in theme?

[dale]

Hiya. I am trying to write a template (just experimenting with things). I have noticed that s9y seems to define the date format in the lang files. Is there any way I can override the definition through a template? Or is modification of the lang files the only way?

Thanks for helping out!

You can modify the templates to achieve the same result. Most of the date entries are in entries.tpl. Find any place we call |@formatTime and change it to |@date_format with the parameters specified in the Smarty manual.

If you're feeling adventurous, you could try the Smarty parameters with the Serendipity formatTime modifier.
