In a template I currently use {attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.dateline}Which produces 2002.12.20 or whatever the user placed in the fields.
My question is can I format these to look like Friday 20 December 2002
I tried {attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.dateline.data_int|l10n(date)}and similar variables without luck.
Can anyone help?

Hi ..
tyr this :
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.dateline.data_int|l10n(datetime(custom,"%l %d %F %Y")} )}
look at SDK Date : sdk/eztemplate/view/operator_list/
and at php.net :http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. I tried lots of variables of your suggestion but without result. It usually doesn't show anything or simply outputs the same numerical dates.
Still open for suggsetions though :)

as i unserstand from ur 1st post, that date format what ur have is 2002.12.20, then u will need to convert it to timestamp to use this option in the template language !try this
{$content_version.data_map.published|datetime(custom,"%l %d %F %Y")}
if u got as u want, then ok, if not then u need to translate the date in the local files/ files maybe !

Thanks for everyones help. For anybody with similar challenges the solutiuon ended up looking like this:
{section show=count($content_version.data_map.dateline.data_int)|gt(1)}{$content_version.data_map.dateline|l10n(date)}
