Anyone know how to display date and time on older posts?

Posts for the current day display the time posted, but for previous days just the date.

Is there a way to include the date and time of older posts?

Thanks

    I personally use Moment.js for stuff like this.

    Thanks, @kasperisager.

    I'll try to work out how to apply that at some point.

    the easiest way is to change what you want via definitions in locale.php

    add the following defs in /conf/locale.php

    e.g.

    // this will put time on posts in previous days
    $Definition['Date.DefaultDayFormat'] = '%B %e %l:%M%p';
    
    // this will put time and day on posts in previous years
    $Definition['Date.DefaultYearFormat'] = '%B %e %l:%M%p';

    Also, you do realize when you hover over the date in vanilla 2.1.x that the full date appears at least on some themes.

    I hadn't realised that.

    I'm still on 2.0.18 for the live forum.
