  • Formats

    The format can use PHP date() letters, such as Y-m-d, or these older % codes, which are converted to them: %Y %y %m %d %e %B %b %A %a %H %k %I %l %M %S %p %P %D %T %F %x %r %u %w %V %z.

    relative shows the time from now in words, from the System Core language strings: "5 minutes ago", "in 2 days".

    The site's default formats are Date Format and Hour Format in ACP > Modules > Core > System Core > Global Config.
