Formatting the date

Friday 27 May 2005 7:31:33 am

Hello,

I have a problem with formatting the date of publication of the news. I've created an attribute "date_publication".

In the template to manage posting, I have the following line: {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.date_publication} which posts me the date with the english format 2005.05.27.

I wish to post it in french format like that: 12 mai 2005.

By using the filter {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.date_publication|datetime(' custom', ' %d %F %Y')} nothing appear.

Thank in avance for your help.

Cheers.

Stéphane

From http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/libraries/ez_template/operators/miscellaneous

If you need to access the date of a "ezdate" attribute, you must use
{$node.object.data_map.datum.data_int} to get the unix timestamp ("datum" is the attribute identifier)
Of course, you don't want to print the timestamp, so do something like this:
{$node.object.data_map.datum.data_int|l10n(shortdate)}
to get a nice, localized daten print

You always have the possibility to take the fields one by one.

{$node.data_map.date_publication.content.day}
{$node.data_map.date_publication.content.month}
{$node.data_map.date_publication.content.year}
{$node.data_map.date_publication.content.hour}
{$node.data_map.date_publication.content.minute}

It isn't so elegant but it works fine!!
