All the date formats are available to customize along with other text. Check out this guide: [이미지] Customize text in Discourse Site Management bookmark This is a guide for customizing text in Discourse via the admin interface, enabling changes to various UI el…

thanks for your reply, David I saw this custom setting, but it seems that I don’t find it here. I want to display the time format of all posts as absolute time. For example, the current my topic post ‘3h’ is displayed as ‘12 May 17:33’ <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/a/f/baf5129c0cbadf5da3c4fdfcfc032e4d1a159bab.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/qFTSgLblJCUmICKgOKsXYQavxPB.png?dl=1" title="The image contains a text field labeled "Y-MM-DD HH:mm" and a blue-bordered box with the text "3h" next to a pen icon, indicating a duration or time entry. (Captioned by AI)" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">[The image contains a text field labeled "Y-MM-DD HH:mm" and…

Ah I see! In that case, you could try changing the “relative date duration” site setting. relative_date_duration: Number of days after posting where post dates will be shown as relative (7d) instead of absolute (20 Feb). So I think for your case, you would set it to 0

yes, I have set it to 0, but it still doesn’t take effect now. Does it take some time or do I need to rake posts:rebake like we do after change domain?

It should only need a page refresh to take effect. Has it made any difference at all? What do your post dates look like now?

i have full refresh page, it still display ‘36’ <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/e/0/1/e012ed42baad7b69542a045f3153625e09c81cf4.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/vYfveQhsck3k7P8zMn7c72BQWR6.png?dl=1" title="The image shows a section of a blueprint or schematic with the heading "A Mini PCle Schematic" and a drawing instrument icon, accompanied by the measurement "36m".

Hmm, it seems like dates which are less than 23.5 hours ago are always shown as relative, regardless of that setting: app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/formatter.js 5883085af case distanceInMinutes >= 0 && distanceInMinutes <= 44: formatted =…

i see this file discourse-main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/components/post/meta-data/date.gjs <template> <div class="post-info post-date"> <a class={{concatClass "post-date" (if (and @post.wiki @post.last_wiki_edit) "last-wiki-edit") }} …

No, you cannot override .gjs templates, unfortunately (intended to improve and encourage stability of overrides)

Welcome back. @aksoforever ! How are you getting on with this? Can you tell us some more about your use case? Why would you want to impose such long, absolute dates on your members? The “time ago” dates are quite friendly on the eye and convey the information you need to know how old a post is. Mou…
