Format Date to Display Abbreviated Month Name 11 Jun 2013 15:19 #7421

jhallock Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 43 Thank you received: 1	In the snippet below, what do I need to set formatDate to in order to display the abbreviated month name: I want to display something like Jan 01, 2013. Here is the my snippet: echo JDom::_('html.fly.datetime', array( 'dataKey' => 'hire_date', 'dataObject' => $this->item, 'dateFormat' => "%Y.%m.%d" )); I tried "%b %m, %Y" with no luck. Thanks for the help.

Awards for the best Joomla app. This product is gonna win an award for this amazing job. Cook Self Service is the the best application from all over the Joomla universe ! It brings Joomla to a professional level really advanced for developers. It is a real fun to develop with it. The ACL part and security checks implementation are just... so much hours saved. I can now concentrate myself more on the design part and the creative works. Thank you so much. Guys I offer you all my congratulation ! Keep up the works because Joomla is needing it to increase the quality of extensions availables on the JED. I also learned a lot because I can see how to code at the proper place and I found all my answers reading the forum.
