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

Kasper

I personally use Moment.js for stuff like this.

Thanks, @kasperisager.

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

@whu606

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';

Perfect!

You absolute star.

Thanks very much.

no problem. you're a star too - you've got patience and you've got well thought out replies of staggering genius.

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.

edit: e.g. this forum

I hadn't realised that.

I'm still on 2.0.18 for the live forum.
