    Hi Support – is there a way to change the field “UPDATED 2 MONTHS AGO?” Where 2 months is however the amount of time elapsed since it was updated to the date it was updated instead? http://www.treyburn-test.org/address-book/

    Thank you!
    Linda

    Changing it to an actual date would require editing the template PHP file. The only point and click option available is the ability to not display it at all. If you are comfortable editing PHP, I can provide some guidance on how to make the change.

    Let me know.

    Great! From the screenshot it looks like you are using the Default Entry Card template, assuming that, here the instructions…

    Open the card.php file found in this folder:

    ../wp-content/plugins/connections/template/card/

    Look for this:

    cnTemplatePart::updated(
    array(
        'timestamp' => $entry->getUnixTimeStamp(),
        'style'     => array(
            'font-size'    => '10px',
            'font-variant' => 'small-caps',
            'margin-right' => '10px',
        )
    )
);

    Change it to this:

    echo $entry->getFormattedTimeStamp( 'm/d/Y' );

    You can change m/d/Y to any valid PHP data format.

    If you decide to do this, I recommend following the instructions on how to implement a custom template override so the change is not lost when Connections is updated.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks so much Steven! I just have one last (quick I hope) question – I made that update but it took away the text “UPDATED:” – is there a way to put it back in? I have uploaded a screenshot of the new page.

    Thanks again for all your help,
    Linda

    @ Linda

    You have to add the string, like so:

    echo 'UPDATED:' . $entry->getFormattedTimeStamp( 'm/d/Y' );

    Hope that helps!
