Including the year in dates on submissions pages

Is there any way to include the year in the dates that are displayed on the Submissions in Editing/Review pages?

Sadly, we have some real stragglers in the review process, and just knowing the day and month doesn’t make it clear that some submissions have been under review for years.

Hi @Pat_Morin,

Have a look at the date_format_trunc option in the config.inc.php configuration file. See http://php.net/strftime for a description of how the format string works.

Some more info. An example of config.inc.php file is available here:

https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/doxygen/stable/html/config_8inc_8php_source.html

The setting could be changed from the default:

date_format_trunc = “%m-%d”

to, e.g.:

date_format_trunc = “%y-%m-%d”
