Change how date is displayed on teaching page?

[nwarford]

I'd like to be able to include either month or season in addition to the year on my teaching page, so it's easier to distinguish between different semesters of a course I've taught multiple times. As an example, the ISO dates for the 2 CSCI 150 courses in the attached image are 2024-08-01 and 2024-02-01 respectively, so I was hoping there would be a way to change how these were displayed, but that's beyond what I've been able to find!

In _includes/archivbe-single.html look for the following (lines 41 to 47):

        {% if post.collection == 'teaching' %}
          <p> {{ post.type }}, <i>{{ post.venue }}</i>, {{ post.date | default: "1900-01-01" | date: "%Y" }} </p>
        {% elsif post.collection == 'publications' %}
          <p>Published in <i>{{ post.venue }}</i>, {{ post.date | default: "1900-01-01" | date: "%Y" }} </p>
        {% elsif post.date %}
         <p class="page__date"><strong><i class="fa fa-fw fa-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{ site.data.ui-text[site.locale].date_label | default: "Published:" }}</strong> <time datetime="{{ post.date | default: "1900-01-01" | date_to_xmlschema }}">{{ post.date | default: "1900-01-01" | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}</time></p>
        {% endif %}

The line you are going to want to change immediately follows {% if post.collection == 'teaching' %}. The date using Liquid syntax so you need to use the formatting as documented here.

Thanks so much! That worked a treat, and the linked formatting doc was really helpful too.
