ForumPostAssistant / FPA

The Forum Post Assistant (FPA) script has been developed to assist Joomla!® forum posters to be able to post relevant system, instance, PHP and troubleshooting information directly in to a pre-formatted forum post. This will save a few hours of posting back and forth, asking for, and explaining how to acquire useful information in order for other forum users to help troubleshoot a problem.

Change ordinal date format to cardinal days and abbreviated month format. #73

Closed sozzled closed 4 years ago

The current FPA report displays the date as an ordinal number with the full month name

fpaHeaderForum

Most style guides for writers recommend the use of cardinal numbers in date formats.

Because different localities use different date representation formats (dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yy, yyyy/mm/dd, etc.) a purely numerical representation of the month should be avoided.

I suggest the date format j-M-Y at line 4722 instead

In the illustrated example above, this would display as "2-Jun-2020". Small saving in total character count; less likely to be misinterpreted by the reader.
