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:

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
