How can a custom Drupal date format be added?

Question

How do you add a custom Drupal date format. I want to display the date without hours and minutes, but the options don\'t include it.

Answer 1

Do the following:

1. Administration » Configuration » Regional and language » Date and Time

2. There you will see a tab for format.

3. Create a new format string "Y-M-d".

4. Make this as your default for all date fields and you won't see the seconds any more.

5. You don't need the date module for basic formatting.
