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.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
