iionly did it already with http://community.elgg.org/plugins/869364/1.8.2/elgg-1819-enhanced-friendly-time

thanks RvR, will try this plugin... although i see it will only format the timestamps. not sure if this will affect the input/date on the custom field I made. will try though....

Well, for custom input/date convert timestamps to text with:

if (is_numeric($vars['value'])) {
    $vars['value'] = gmdate('M-d-Y', $vars['value']);
}

cool! where should I put the code? I reckon this will be on the mod/blog/view folder, will try this now... you've been cery helpful. thanks a lot RvR

Copy from

views/default/input/date.php

To

mod/blog/views/default/input/date.php

And edit then into it

RvR, I tried copying the date.php but still no change... the input/date brings up the calendar and then returns the date as 2014-03-20 

Wanted it to show, say March 20, 2014
