How can a custom Drupal date format be added?

How do you add a custom Drupal date format. I want to display the date without hours and minutes, but the options don't include it.

Do the following:

  1. Administration » Configuration » Regional and language » Date and Time

  2. There you will see a tab for format.

  3. Create a new format string "Y-M-d".

  4. Make this as your default for all date fields and you won't see the seconds any more.

  5. You don't need the date module for basic formatting.

You will see a button Add format in this path admin/config/regional/date-time/formats

Then, type your format there. This will help you: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

After adding your format, you can choose in the tab Types

Oops. I had this tab open in my browser for long time and didn't see the other answer.
