I have weekly archives set up and displayed on my main index page and the date links are displayed in long format (i.e. "October 20, 2002 - October 26, 2002") I want to change them to short format (i.e. "Oct 20, 2002 - Oct 26, 2002"). I did find a reference to date tags in the docs, but I am not sure how/where to place them to achieve this. Can someone give me guidance on this? Kristine? Girlie? I'm sure either of you know how to do this. =)
TIA
Full Version: date format
I assume you are using something like this to display your archive links?
So, to get the style you mentioned, you'd want
I hope that helps!
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Weekly">
<a href="<MTArchiveLink>"><MTArchiveTitle></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
All you need to do is replace MTArchiveTitle with MTArchiveDate-MTArchiveDateEnd, using whichever of those date format tags you found to give you the format you want! <a href="<MTArchiveLink>"><MTArchiveTitle></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
So, to get the style you mentioned, you'd wantCODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Weekly">
<a href="<MTArchiveLink>"><MTArchiveDate format="%b %d, %Y"> - <MTArchiveDateEnd format="%b %d, %Y"></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
Oh, if Weekly archives are your preferred type, you obviously don't need to include the archive_type="Weekly" bit. <a href="<MTArchiveLink>"><MTArchiveDate format="%b %d, %Y"> - <MTArchiveDateEnd format="%b %d, %Y"></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
I hope that helps!
Thanks maddy! =)
This is exactly what I needed. I just needed a little help with placing it properly.
