What is the best way to customize the timestamp location and format?
We've tried using templates but can only control those rendered from chat.renderMessage, it's not clear how to use a different template from the user's posted message (ie we only know how to control the left-side not the right-side message bubbles)
The documentation has no information on this and were only able to piece together from other forum posts

Hello, you can try overriding the default "text" and "message templates" similar to the demonstration in the following dojo:

Peter's sample is what we were looking for thanks
Hello, Gary,
You can register a custom template to format the user message. You can find further information on this link from our documentation.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

We understand using a template with renderAttachment but that doesn't allow us to change how the user's own post appears in the chat, their right-hand side of the chat can't be overwritten doing this or if it can the documentation is unclear
ie, when the user enters a message and presses enter, their message bubble goes into the chat in their display that's what we want to control, that's obfuscated by the chat control
Overriding the post event on the kendoChat doesn't seem to allow us to influence that
