Newbie Question: How to Change Format of vb date?

[Lynne]

From the API:

vbdate (line 3462) Formats a UNIX timestamp into a human-readable string according to vBulletin prefs
Note: Ifvbdate() is called with a date format other than than one in $vbulletin->options[], set $locale to false unless you dynamically set the date() and strftime() formats in the vbdate() call.

• return: Formatted date string

string vbdate (string $format, [integer $timestamp = TIMENOW], [boolean $doyestoday = false], [boolean $locale = true], [boolean $adjust = true], [boolean $gmdate = false], [array $userinfo = ''])

• string $format: Date format string (same syntax as PHP's date() function)
• integer $timestamp: Unix time stamp
• boolean $doyestoday: If true, attempt to show strings like "Yesterday, 12pm" instead of full date string
• boolean $locale: If true, and user has a language locale, use strftime() to generate language specific dates
• boolean $adjust: If true, don't adjust time to user's adjusted time .. (think gmdate instead of date!)
• boolean $gmdate: If true, uses gmstrftime() and gmdate() instead of strftime() and date()
• array $userinfo: If set, use specified info instead of $vbulletin->userinfo
