Date format change

jakramer

Hello, I need to change the date format of the items in the default layout page. From this “2025-3-19” to this: “19 March 2025” with an override so it cannot be removed on update. The prior answers to address this issue looked like code changes that would be overwritten whenever we did an update. Those answers were also several years old. Is there a better way to fix this now?
Thanks!

You can backup and edit this file: /components/com_jamegafilter/assets/js/main.js

Look for this snippet of code:

if (value.type == 'date') {
	_date = new Date(value.frontend_value[0] * 1000);
	_value = _date.getFullYear() + '-' + (_date.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + _date.getDate();
} else if (value.type == 'color') {

change it to:

if (value.type == 'date') {
    _date = new Date(value.frontend_value[0] * 1000);
    const monthNames = [
        'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June',
        'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'
    ];
    _value = _date.getDate() + ' ' + monthNames[_date.getMonth()] + ' ' + _date.getFullYear();
} else if (value.type == 'color') {
