Server dategroup.date out of sync

[bdconnolly]

<div style="font-size: xx-small; text-align: center">{$dategroup.date|@formatTime:'%A, %B %d, %Y'}</div>

Code above give "Wednesday, August 16, 2006." Server is synced to Tue Aug 22 20:56:16 2006

What’s that??

Hi!

What do you mean? For entries from 2006-08-16 you see entries that are dated to 2006-22-08?

The dategroup date depends on the date of an entry you posted. The date of an entry might be influenced by a Server Timezone Offset you configured.

Okay Garvin... this is where patience with the feeble is important.

I am just trying to get the current time/date to display in the template header.

I now understand that I was using the wrong smarty code and need to roll my own. Here's a stab at it.

Edited a config.inc.php file for the template to include:

Code: Select all

<?php
$serendipity['smarty']->register_function('time');
function time($smarty) {
  return '%A, %B %d, %Y';
}
?>

Tried to add {$time} to the index.tpl.

?

Hi!

When you register a function, you must call it like a function: {time} and not {$time}.

Then it should work, I guess!

Nope.

But another dead end chasing minutia.

[bdconnolly]

Don't suppose you know of anyone in the HISTORY OF SERENDIPITY who put the current date and time in the header.

?

Can't find it anywhere. Seems pretty basic.

config.inc.php in template folder:

Code: Select all

$serendipity['smarty']->register_function('date_now', 'print_current_date');

function print_current_date($params)
{
    $format = $params['format'];
    return strftime($format,time());
  }

This in index.tpl:

Code: Select all

{date_now format='%A, %B %d, %Y'}

Done.

Excellent work! I knew you could do it.
