Show useful dates

[anonymous]

If I look at the timeline, it shows the dates in approximate time such as "2 months ago".

This seems strange, as it obscures the information I really need and takes extra work to do. How do I disable this "feature"?

The timeline doesn't show the approximate dates. In other places yes, but not in the Timeline. Care to provide a snapshot?

What cboos said. Also, I would characterize the approximate dates as "useful", so please be careful when using such subjective terms ;)

I am also looking to change this feature. I'm trying to generate printable reports for my boss. When the reports are printed everything looks great accept the "5 weeks ago" for a date. I should probably create a new ticket but I'd also like to be able to add the ticket change history and comments to a report.

Just hover over the date and you'll see the exact date as a tool tip. If you want to have it in the link text, too, put the following into your template ($TRACENV/templates/site.html):

<a py:match="a[@class='timeline']" py:attrs="select('@*')">
  ${select('.')} (${select('@title').render()[0:10]})
</a>

Note: This works only if you have a Genshi-based Trac (>=0.11).
