Displaying the Item Date
To display the item date, include the word "date" in your iorder setting. For example:

CarpConf('iorder','link,date,desc');

Display formatting options

bidate ("before item date") : Specifies text and/or HTML to be displayed before the item date.
aidate ("after item date") : Specifies text and/or HTML to be displayed after the item date.
idateformat ("item date format") : Specifies the formatting string that controls the format of the date. Refer to the PHP manual page for more information.
iidateformat [CaRP >= 4.0.18] : ("item international date format") : Specifies the formatting string that controls the format of the date based on the currently selected locale. Refer to the PHP manual page for more information. By default, this setting is blank, and idateformat is used instead. If this setting is set, idateformat is ignored.
timeoffset [CaRP >= 3.5.5] : The number of minutes to add to or subtract from the timestamp in the feed before display. This setting is useful for fixing feeds whose timestamps contain incorrect timezone information, and for display on servers whose timeszones are incorrectly configured.

Example

CarpConf('bidate','<i>Posted on ');
CarpConf('aidate','</i><br />');
CarpConf('timeoffset',-60);
CarpConf('idateformat','j M Y \\a\\t g:i a');

The above code would format the item date as follows, after subtracting one hour (60 minutes) from the timestamp:
