Date change

Anyone know how to change the date from 31/10/2024 to Oct. 31, 2024?

hi - you mean where it’s showing the date in the heading at the top? - the “TODAY IN HISTORY 02/19/2017” in the module picture (sorry, not familiar with this module)

in MMM-History.js it looks like the header is generated with

header.innerHTML = "Today in History  " + moment().format('L');

and format('L') would give you a date as shown.

You could try updating this line in MMM-History.js and specifying a different format?

e.g.
header.innerHTML = "Today in History " + moment().format('ll');

looks like it should give you a “ShortMonth dd, yyyy” date instead. (Haven’t tried this to confirm, give it a go)

@raymondjspigot i’d make a fork of the module
clone that
add a parameter to set the format differently
and submit that as a pull request back to the module github

others probably would like to change that format
