LinkX allows you to set the format that you want dates and times displayed in. Many countries use differing formats to display their dates and times, so this feature will allow you to have your dates and times in a format that the majority of your visitors will understand. The date and time format system used by LinkX is based on the date and time format feature of PHP. If you have experience working with PHP date and time formats, you'll have no problem with these. Even if you don't, these formats are very straightforward and easy to understand.
Changing Formats
The date and time formats you want to use are configured through the LinkX General Settings interface. In the control panel, select the General Settings option from the Settings menu. The General Settings pop window will display, and in the Basic Settings section you will find the Date Format and Time Format fields. This is where you will make the changes to your date and time formats. Once you have made the changes you want, press the Save Options button to save your new settings.
Date and time format specifiers consist of a series of characters. You can find a complete list of these characters below for both dates and times. Using a combination of these specifiers you can create complete date and time formats. Note that LinkX will only pay attention to the defined characters; all other characters in your date or time format will be left alone. This allows you to use separators such as forward-slashes, dashes, and colons as you like.
