Hello!
Your solution displays the date in correct format. But this is not the date of publication of the article only the current date. See on www.informatorgminny.com
Is there a way to solve it?

Dear Janusz Wójcik,

You can change the date format of module as the following.

Example theme 1, open module mod_sj_news_frontpage/tmpl/them1.php, find:

<p class="yt_date" style="margin: 0 0 3px 0 !important;line-height: normal !important;"><?php echo date("d F Y", strtotime($list[0]['publish'])); ?></p>

==> change to:

<p class="yt_date" style="margin: 0 0 3px 0 !important;line-height: normal !important;"><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $list[0]['publish'], 'd-m-Y'); ?></p>

---------------

<span class="yt_date" style="padding-top: 5px !important;"><?php echo date("d F Y", strtotime($item['publish'])); ?></span>

==> change to:

<span class="yt_date" style="padding-top: 5px !important;"><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $item['publish'], 'd-m-Y'); ?></span>

You can do it for other themes.

If you use the smart news template, you can change the date format as the following steps:

- open site/templates/smart_news25/html/mod_sj_news_frontpage/theme4.php and find:

<?php if($options->show_date == 1){?>

<p style="color:#B7B7B7; font-size:11px; margin:0 !important;display: block !important;"><?php echo date("d F Y", strtotime($list[0]['publish'])); ?></p>

<?php } ?>

==> change to:

<?php if($options->show_date == 1){?>

<p style="color:#B7B7B7; font-size:11px; margin:0 !important;display: block !important;"><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $list[0]['publish'], 'd-m-Y'); ?></p>

<?php } ?>

-----------------------------

<?php if($options->show_date == 1){?>

<span><?php echo date("d F Y", strtotime($item['publish'])); ?></span>

<?php } ?>

==> change to:

<?php if($options->show_date == 1){?>

<span><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $item['publish'], 'd-m-Y'); ?></span>

<?php } ?>

Thanks!
