Hi,

Not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem - but I'm having a hell of a time with dates in the templates :(

If we pass in a date - i.e 2007-10-21 , it AUTOMATICALLY gets converted into the %ddd% %mmm% %dd% %yyyy% format.

This is a real PITA on the current plugin I'm working on (I've managed to get around it, but I'm not happy at the way I've had to do it :()

I basically had to convert dates being passed into the template - so:

2007-10-21

..becomes:

2007 - 10 - 21

Then, pass it BACK to a function, to replace the - to normal - i.e:


Surely there has to be a better way than this? Not very elegant at all - although it does work now (which is something)

TIA
