Change Date Format in Article Editing page on Publishing tab

Question

I would like to change the date format of the following fields Article Editing page on Publishing tab):

Start Publishing
Finish Publishing
Created Date
Modified Date

The format is by default Y-m-d H:i:s and I would like to set it to d-F-Y H:i:s! Print Screen of the field where I want to change the date format

In language manager I have been on the override tab then - Select the filter English (USA) - administrator - Search for the constant DATE_FORMAT_LC2 - Override the date format in the "text" field by entering d-F-Y H:i:s

but without succes. My webiste is under Joomla 3.3.1

Answer 1

Go to Extension Manager -> Language Manager. Select Overrides.

Select the Language for which you want to set an override and change the date format. Add a new override.

Select the Constant option (Search for the constant DATE_FORMAT_LC2/LC3/LC4). Modify its value and save the changes. Just remove the text and type in the format you'd like.

For example, if you want the date to display January 01, 2013, you would use : F j, Y

Refresh the page. The date format was changed.
