  On www.rhein-sieg-freizeit.de I use a modified AmazingGrace Template. I changed the news template code so that it displays the actual "published on" date of an article not the date it was submitted into zikula.
  
  But now I have the problem that all Articles have the correct date but the month stays "April". As I only changed "briefdate", what else is going wrong here? What to do that the month also is displayed correct?

  < div class= "entrydate" >< !--[ $info.time|date_format:"%b "]-- >
  < !--[$info.briefdate|date_format:"%d "]- - >

  Hi,
  I use the following in a special display format:
  

  Code

  <div class="news_index_date"><!--[$info.from|pndate_format:"%b"|pnvarprephtmldisplay]--><br /><b><!--[$info.from|pndate_format:"%d"|pnvarprephtmldisplay]--></b></div>

  
  (Online example in my upgrade in progress here)
  sice briefdate is already a converted date, you should not use the date_format on that one again.
  In the code briefdate is formed by:
  

  Code

  $info['briefdate']     = DateUtil::getDatetime($info['unixtime'], _DATEBRIEF);

  
  Also check out the date format info for Smarty here. A date conversion on something that is already a converted date could go wrong. You should use the unix timestamp in that case, which can be done by using $info.unixtime.
  
  But it might be best to use the pndate_format modifier (which uses DateUtil internally) with the $info.from as above, since that is the correct time field to use from News 2.4 onwards. It represents the published date of the article.

  My solution isn't working - if you use briefdate the template now displays the actual days date every day - yesterday my articles were May 3rd, today the're all may 4th.
  
  So I'll see if espaan's solution will work.

  Ok, it works correct (as far as I can see) with
  < !--[$info.from|pndate_format:"%d"|pnvarprephtmldisplay]- ->

  Ok, next problem is in news_user_articlecontent.html
  
  It's date=$info.briefdatetime] there too, but if I change that to date=$info.from|pndate_format] nothing happens, the date stays like briefdateformat.

  Sorry, lAst posting was my fault - the correct template is in AmazingGrace itself and the modification works too for this.

  Ok great.
  We should make a Wiki section in cozi/news or here on changing the templates, what is available in the various templates, how to add certain constructions, in short how to create a different layout of the News functions.
  I had already written down in the roadmap for 2.5 to make some more documentation avaiable
