How do I change the output of theme_comment_submitted()?

Question

How to change the default theme of comment_submitted in drupal?

Input:

$variables['submitted'] = theme('comment_submitted', $comment);

Output

My expected result is

• To print the Name in first and time in second.

• Should not truncate.

How can this be done?

Answer 1

Add a function in your template.php located in your theme's directory.

function phptemplate_comment_submitted($comment){
  return t('Submitted on @datetime by !username.',
    array(
      '!username' => theme('username', $comment),
      '@datetime' => format_date($comment->timestamp)
    ));
}

Answer 2

You can override any theme function implementing hook_theme_registry_alter() in a module.

function mymodule_theme_registry_alter(&$theme_registry) {
  if (isset($theme_registry['comment_submitted'])) {
    $theme_registry['comment_submitted']['function'] = 'theme_mymodule_comment_submitted';
  }
}

In this case, as what you want is to override a string used by a module, String Overrides could help you. You just need to replace "Submitted by !username on @datetime." with "Submitted on @datetime by !username."
