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.
Best regards,

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!
Best regards,
Garvin

Nope.
But another dead end chasing minutia.

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:
Done.
