the date format i mentioned below is automatically inserted when u post a story. Something like this

2005-12-09 12:43:30 +0530

I changed the system.module file and it shows i have the format i want..but somehow it still it shows like above.
Mabye this 2005-12-09 12:43:30 +0530 is coming from somewhere else? tks

Don't have time right now to search extensively at the forum, and can't dig deep into the following link either, but may be this is a good starting point:

I am not sure how exactly you would like to do this.
If you are using PHPTemplate go to

themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine Line 291 - 294

I don't like to hack the but this is the place I would start looking.

Also look at your Date settings. administer >> settings (bottom of the page.)

Inside the function node_validate() (which, of course, lives in node.module) is a line that reads something like...

$node->date = format_date($node->created, 'custom', 'd-M-Y H:i:s O');

This is actually post my own edits... it doesn't start out "d-M-Y" But as far as I can tell it just uses the php date function's formatting rules.

This should really be set to be the same as the default format in the settings rather than being hard coded. I hope that's in store for 4.7.
