Description
As a theme author it would be very useful to have a global option for formatting a full datetime (and a the_datetime() function too).
Sometimes datetimes are formatted "$date $time", sometimes it's "$time $date", sometimes it's even "$date at $time".
I think there should be an option for this in the general settings alongside the date and time format options.

Made a option to select the type of date/time display and changed it accordingly in comment-template

I still need places where date and time appear together. This patch creates an option to select which format you want and displays the comments in that format (since I found date-time appear together in comment-template till now) .... Please give me location for the other places and I will finish off this feature.

- Keywords close added
- Instead of duplicating the logic in
comment-template.php
, a new filterable function should be introduced that would return__( '%1$s at %2$s' )
by default. - We probably don't need a new UI option, it would go against the "Decisions, not options" philosophy.
- If we do add a new option, it should store the chosen format itself, not a numeric index.
Personally, I don't think we even need a new function.
With the_date()
, get_the_date()
, the_modified_date()
, get_the_modified_date()
, the_time()
, get_the_time()
, get_post_time()
, the_modified_time()
, get_the_modified_time()
, get_post_modified_time()
, mysql2date()
, date_i18n()
, it seems like theme developers should already have full control over displayed dates.
If there are no filters in some particular places like Walker_Comment
, we should add them instead of adding new functions or options.
Hello ... I am trying to implement this. Can you tell me where all in a theme are the date and time used together? Right now, I have found it in the comments. Where else are they used?
