How to change the published date format in find lister

[Mirza]

In a lister find, published column is showing a string as shown in attached screenshot.

Can we change the date format to yyyy-mm-dd or any other?

Currently you cannot.  There is a @todo note in the code:

// @todo make this format customizable via wireDate()

https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/57b297fd1d828961b20ef29782012f75957d6886/wire/modules/Process/ProcessPageLister/ProcessPageLister.module#L1264-L1267

Edit: you cannot set the date format individually for the 'created', 'modified' and 'published' columns, but if you don't mind using the same format for all you can use this hook in /site/ready.php:

$wire->addHookBefore('ProcessPageLister::execute', function(HookEvent $event) {
    $lister = $event->object;
    $lister->nativeDateFormat = 'Y-m-d';
    // see https://processwire.com/api/ref/datetime/date/ for format options
});

Hi Robin S,

Thank you for the reply, Let me try this.

Recently I am fixing this issue, again, and I find this post in google. There's another solution that I found in the ListerPro forum before. The created, modified, publish date format can be changed via language translation. The language support module has to be installed in this case.

Go to Setting > Language > choose the language you use > Click Find Files to Translate button > click /wire\modules\Process\ProcessPageLister\ProcessPageLister.module and submit > translate "rel" field(should be listed on top) to wanted format like Y-m-d
