[SMF] Date/Time layouts

[Nick]

When you make a post/thread on the forum main page it tells you the time that post/thread was created. I found the time's confusing on my forum so i did mine to how i liked them. Follow this tutorial if you want a simple Date/Time to be shown in the following order:

Day/Month/Year/Hours/Minutes

Go to Admin - Configuration - Features and Options

Scroll half way down the page until you see Default time format. In the white box copy and paste the following text in:

%d/%m/%Y at %H:%M

Scroll to the bottom of the page and press save!

Now when a user posts it will come up as

E.g
     Last post by "Username"
     in "Thread name"
     on 14/07/2009 at 18:31

There are many different time layout's to have but i personally find this one easiest. To work out your own time layout use any of the codes below which were taken from the SMFNEW help section (To find click the ? Logo by Default time format)

The following characters are recognized in the format string:
  %a - abbreviated weekday name
  %A - full weekday name
  %b - abbreviated month name
  %B - full month name
  %d - day of the month (01 to 31)
  %D* - same as %m/%d/%y
  %e* - day of the month (1 to 31)
  %H - hour using a 24-hour clock (range 00 to 23)
  %I - hour using a 12-hour clock (range 01 to 12)
  %m - month as a number (01 to 12)
  %M - minute as a number
  %p - either "am" or "pm" according to the given time
  %R* - time in 24 hour notation
  %S - second as a decimal number
  %T* - current time, equal to %H:%M:%S
  %y - 2 digit year (00 to 99)
  %Y - 4 digit year
  %Z - time zone or name or abbreviation
  %% - a literal '%' character
