I am working on an enterprisewiki site collection, and I want to change the date format for the following message at the top of each wiki page:- enter image description here

I want to change the date format to be somrthing such as 15 Sep 2014 instead of the defualt 9/15/2014 .

Inside the default page layout I got the following code to display the message:-

<div class="ms-descriptiontext ewiki-margin">
                     <SharePoint:FormattedString FormatText="<%$Resources:wss,wikidiff_lastmodifiedby%>" runat="server">
                        <SharePoint:FormField id="modifiedFieldCtrl" ControlMode="Display" FieldName="Modified" runat="server"/>
                        <SharePoint:UserField id="editorFieldCtrl" ControlMode="Display" FieldName="Editor" runat="server"/>
                     </SharePoint:FormattedString>
                     <PublishingWebControls:EditPageHyperLink id="editPageLink" Text="<%$Resources:cms,enterwiki_editpage%>" runat="server"/>
                </div>

  • but this approach will not allow me to get the following custom format "15 Sep 2014", is this right ? ?? Also i am using SP 2013 , where your link is referring to 2010, does this make any differences ?

  • Otherwise you can use the custom columna s described in link. And change the field name to your custom fieldname.
