try something like this: put this at the top of the node.tpl.php or wherever you need it... <?php format_date($node->created, 'custom', 'D M d Y') ?> hope it helps... i actually have almost no idea what i'm talking about and its 3am!!!!! erik. david hodgkins wrote:

(I've spent a couple hours trying this on my own, but to no avail.)

On my theme Connections, I need to have the date styled differently. It should be: day date month year, Wed Dec 14 2005 or D M d(or j) Y

I have no idea what to change, or how to change it. (I have a funny feeling that template.php plays a roll in this.)

While I would have loved to come up with an answer on my own, I don't think I can. The documentation in the handbook is poor.

The function in the api is at http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/format_date

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this.
