Hi there!

Thanks for your query.

Let me have a look into it.

Best Regards

Hello

Thank you for your query. Have you checked out the documentation please?

https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/joomla-templates/newskit/how-to-change-date-in-article-addons

If it still does not work, we will check from our end with your access.

I have checked from my end.

Can you please go to System -> Global configuration then Article Option and scroll down. You will find "Show create Date" Have you tried to enable this?

Hi Ariba,

It works as you indicated, so great. Thanks a lot. It could be a solution!!! :) However, I don´t want to show 2 dates in an article. It seems confusing to me.

Thus, I have switch off "publication date".

When I have done it, I have lost the "date icon in the left". You can see by yourself in the image below.

You're most welcome.

You can edit this file: /layouts/joomla/content/info_block/create_date.php and insert the following code here as shown in the screenshot below. This will add the calendar icon.

<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>

OR,

You can also change this file: /layouts/joomla/content/info_block/publish_date.php and add the character 'Y' as shown in the screenshot below (red underlined) - which will add the year value to publish date. This is the first date that was showing by default without the year value.

Please do let me know if that works and if you have any confusion.

Hi Ariba,

When I choose your first solution, I see that the content of the file "create_date.php" is pretty different than yours. There is a "span" tag which seems to have a relationship with the icon. Anyway, whether I keep the tag span wether I replace it by your "<i class... etc>", it does not change anything in the frontend.

Regarding the second solution, I think something is not working as expected. The content of my file is a bit different than yours, and I can even delete it (my "publish_date.php") without any effect on the frontend. The publication date keeps showing as "Jul 22, 07:24 am".

Notice that for the first solution I have kept the global adjustment "Show create date" to ON, and the "Show Publish Date" to OFF, and I have setup the opposite for the second solution.

Thanks a lot Regards

Hello

Could you kindly provide your administrative access? Use the hidden mode to share the log in credentials.

Hi Ariba,

Here you have them, in the hidden area. Thanks.

Hi Ariba,

Now it´s working, thanks a lot! What did you do finally?

Regards.

Hello

You are most welcome :)

I have added the following code in this file /layouts/joomla/content/infoblock/createdate.php

<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>

This is inserting the icon before the date-time value.
