How can I include part of a new item's date, or do any advanced date customisation?

 

To do this, you can use the time variables that NewsPro generates
automatically. Use these as you would any other variable (i.e. $newsname). Note that you can only use these if editing ndisplay.pl manually -- only the standard <InsertDate> is available if editing your news style via Change Settings.

The variables are:

$Year
$Month_Day (Day of the month)
$Week_Day (Number representing day of week. Sunday = 0, Saturday = 6)
$Week_Days[$Week_Day] (The full name of the current weekday)
$Month (Number of the current month, using the method computers count by:
January = 0, December = 11)
$ActualMonth (Number of the current month, as humans count: January = 1)
$Months[$Month] (Full name of the current month)
$Hour
$Minute
$Second
$Time_Zone
$AMPM (equal to either AM or PM, and only if you have enabled AM/PM
times in Advanced Settings)
