In my last question I tried to modify mod_latest_articles module, and added myCustomFunction to ArticlesLatestHelper.php like this :
/**
* @package Joomla.Site
* @subpackage mod_articles_latest
*
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2019 Open Source Matters, Inc. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
*/
namespace Joomla\Module\ArticlesLatest\Site\Helper;
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
use Joomla\CMS\Access\Access;
use Joomla\CMS\Component\ComponentHelper;
use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
use Joomla\CMS\Router\Route;
use Joomla\Component\Content\Site\Model\ArticlesModel;
use Joomla\Registry\Registry;
use Joomla\Utilities\ArrayHelper;
\JLoader::register('ContentHelperRoute', JPATH_SITE . '/components/com_content/helpers/route.php');
/**
* Helper for mod_articles_latest
*
* @since 1.6
*/
abstract class ArticlesLatestHelper
{
/**
* Retrieve a list of article
*
* @param Registry $params The module parameters.
* @param ArticlesModel $model The model.
*
* @return mixed
*
* @since 1.6
*/
public static function getList(Registry $params, ArticlesModel $model)
{ // this is the built-in function ... }
public static function myCustomFunction($created_date)
{
$date = new JDate($created_date);
echo $date->format('l, d F Y H:i', false, false);
}
I'm able to call the function from the default.php by using @Zollie's solution, but now I got this error message when using JDate inside my function
Error: Class 'Joomla\Module\ArticlesLatest\Site\Helper\JDate' not found: Class 'Joomla\Module\ArticlesLatest\Site\Helper\JDate' not found
Can anybody tell me, what am I doing wrong in here now? Thanks!
