News Manager (updated)

[TeeJay]

Hello,
I had the same problem. However, when I put my page on-line on a hosting, it figured out that the only problem was having the site on my offline XAMPP server in my PC which couldn't retrieve the date information.
If you want to change the format of a date, you should see the 8th post of this page - http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread.php?tid=3972
It's written by Carlos (surprisingly ) a it tells you how to

Thanks TeeJay. I don't care if I don't see it on my local test server, as long as it's OK live on the web. I'm putting the site in demo mode on my live server on the weekend so will test it then. Thanks for replying

You don't have to worry, it will work, I'm absolutely sure.

The only thing you should care about is the date format. Neither don't I know the format in Australia, nor in America and everywhere else.
However, if you want to have numeric date format, it's very simple even to comprehend. In the bottom of the lang file of your News Manager plugin, replace those date format data with...
I have there

Code:

"DATE_FORMAT"         =>  "%d.%m.%Y - %H:%M"

Which makes date and time like 5.4.2013 - 8:18 (this is the time here)

If Wikipedia is right, you can replace it with

Code:

"DATE_FORMAT"         =>  "%d/%m/%Y

and you will have Australian date format like 5/4/2013. You can even add the time information which I have if you want.

I hope you understand fully now
