So you'll have to do this with a view file override. In the menu Display>Views, you would need to edit the view file "add_to_cart_ajax.php" (for the listings) and "quantity.php" (for the product details page) and change the line: Code: echo JText::sprintf('ITEM_SOLD_ON_DATE', hikashop_getDate($start_date, $this->params->get('date_format', '%d %B %Y'))); There you can see the date format: %d %B %Y So change this to remove the day and month and add the week number. As per [ www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php) the week number should be available with the letter W The following user(s) said Thank You: [Machka](/forum/user/60840-machka "View Machka's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS85MDI0NjAtY2hhbmdpbmctZGF0ZS1mb3JtYXQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
