Where to change the date format for $user_joined

[JoeWa]

In Czech the date is presented as: d.m.Y (which shows as 15.6.2012) for example. The date variable used in Pligg outputs March 15, 2012. I've looked in libs/user.php for this and all I can located is the line:

$main_smarty->assign('user_joined', get_date($this->date));

...which doesn't specify the output. Can you point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

You can replace it with:

 $main_smarty->assign('user_joined', date("d.m.Y", $this->date));

Smarter idea is to make the change in your template file so that it doesn't get overwritten by future Pligg updates.

 {php} 
    $joined = $this->_vars['user_joined'];
    $time = strtotime( $joined );
    echo date( 'F n, Y', $time ); // June 25, 2012
    echo date( 'j.m.Y', $time ); // 25.06.2012
{/php}

Agreed Yankidank, thanks for the input from both of you.
