How can I show the recording time for the images in the caption? 
The date is displayed but not the time,

Do you have a link? You can change DATE format in panel > settings > advanced:


In that field, you can write your own data format based on variables noted here:

Hi Karl, I mean the time when the photo was taken and not when I put it online.

In the Exif data it must have the date and time. But he only shows me the date.

If your image indeed has a "DateTimeOriginal" tag stored in the image, then it will display the date the photograph was taken. If you are in doubt, you can get the URL to that image, and check it from the following website:

I can only diagnose further if you can give me a link.

Yes, it has the date and time stored in the Exif data. I checked through the website.

I checked the website we have in our records d*****.*****.de, and it is clearly showing the DATE from your image EXIF. If you want me to diagnose, clearly you will need to provide an exact link to the image you believe is displaying an incorrect date.

Hello Karl i found the Settings for the Date Time. 

That was under Settings-->Popup Settings --> Popup Caption --> date_taken.
The Date was store under Exif Data and not separately.
Here the Link:

Is this solved now? The DATE displaying in your image popup is identical to the date stored in your images DateTimeOriginal: 29 July 2018:



Yes, you can ALSO add the date format to display in the EXIF row, but that is clearly not nicely formatted for human reading. Furthermore, in both cases, the DATE displayed is the DateTimeOriginal from your camera.

For me as a photographer, the time stamp is also important with regard to some situations that I can then analyze. 
Just the date is not enough for me.

The X3 website should be focused on best functionality for your VISITORS, in which case a date with detailed time stamp like "14 Jan 2014, 14:32, 50 seconds" is just harder to read and of no interest. Don't you agree? If you require a tool for owner-purposes of analyzing your images, this should not clutter your X3 frontend-website. If anything, that should be done in the PANEL, or with another application.

Anyway, I think what we can do, is add a date FORMAT option below the "Date" item checkbox when enabled, so that you can add your own date formatting (with hh : mm : ss if you like).

Hello Karl, At a wedding you want to know the time. Often the visitors want to know when I took the photo.
Certainly not the seconds, that's not necessary. Either the suggestion you have given or the clean formatting in the exif data which can be added with the field "date_taken". That the time is still displayed there.

But I'd like your option better.

This issue was partially resolved in X3.27.0. Now, the full EXIF date is displayed, instead of a CUT version.

In next X3 release, I will add more options to decide how to format the popup date.
