Hi,

I want to use long date ("5 septembre 2002") in all my forum except in category_list.html, forum_view.html and message_list.html. I set by default long date in language variables ("%d% %mmmm% %yyyy% à %H%:%MM%"). So now I have to change the display date in category_list.html, forum_view.html...

I tried in category_list.html the tag "<%GT::Date::date_get($forum_last_date, '%d% %mmm% %yyyy% à %H%:%MM%')%>" but it gives a really strange date: "31 déc. 1969 à 19:00". Does anybody know where come from the problem? And also do you know how I can use the function "nbsp" with this king of tag?

Thank you very much!

François

I noticed that the tag "<%GT::Date::date_get($forum_last_date, '%d% %mmm% %yyyy% à %H%:%MM%')%>" work perfectly in user_view.html and profile_display.html (the right dates appear). But I have to initialize the date before with this tag "<!--<%GForum::init_date%>-->". Unfortunately, nothing of that seem to work in category_list.html, forum_view.html and message_list.html. So how can I change the date format in these templates (I want to use the short date in these templates)? Any idea?

Thank you for your help!

François

Hi François,

Instead of $forum_last_date, use $forum_last_time. That should fix it.

Thank you very much, Jason!

It works, but I still don't know how to use the function "nbsp" with this tag (<%GT::Date::date_get($forum_last_time, '%d% %mmm% %yyyy% à %H%:%MM%')%>). Is it possible to use the function "nbsp" with this kind of tag? I tried many things, but no success.

Thank you!

François

Hi François,

You can't use it directly, but you should be able to do this if you combine it with a "set":

<%set mydate = GT::Date::date_get(.....)%><%nbsp mydate%>

Simple! Thank you!! I love GT support!

Do you know if that kind of date setup in category_list.html (for all forums) and forum_view.html (for all threads) will put much more load on the server comparatively to the standard date setup?

Thank you again!

François

Oops, the tag "<%set mydate = GT::Date::date_get($forum_last_time, '%d% %mmm% %yyyy% à %H%:%MM%')%><%nbsp mydate%>" doesn't work: it gives the current time and date of the server for all the forums. . But the "nbsp" function works...

Any idea??

Thank you!

François

I tried again only the tag "<%GT::Date::date_get($forum_last_time, '%d% %mmm% %yyyy% à %H%:%MM%')%>", and the problem still there. So it seem that the problem come from the variable "forum_last_time".

Thank you for your help!

François

I tried "forum_last" and it works.

Thank you!

François

Whoops, oh yeah, it's forum_last, not forum_last_time
