date format

Hi,

i am using the dateFormat param like this:

&dateFormat=`%jS %B, %Y`

hoping to get this:

9th January, 2007

but i get this:

004S January, 2007

anyone know what i am doing wrong?

g.

First, which function is used to output the date in the resource? Probably date or strftime.. Then get the correct format syntax from date or strftime documentation.

ah thank you, i was looking at the wrong documentation.

although it does not seem possible to display th, st, rd with smrftime

Yes, it seems so.. odd.

that seems to work - however, how can I get the month e.g. ’January’ in German - I guess I have to use setlocale somewhere but I don’t know how.

thank you in advance for your input

Yeah, you could do setlocale(LC_ALL, ’de_DE’); in the snippet, or in config.inc.php so that every snippet that uses strftime function to format the date will do it in german right away.

Thank Doze !
I have done like this for my template :
1) i have created a template variable "setdatelocale" with content :

(french in my case)
2) i call it with [*setdatelocale*] in my default template

Like this i do not need to touch main php scripts and/or all snipnets . (I suppose this can be done better for multilingual content ).

Guys i’m testing this system on localhost , it gives me Jan 01 of 1970 if i use TV with date formatter type. I guess it’s Unix time or something like that.

Is it possible to fix it?

What is it that you are doing? Post the code..

Which date do you want do fetch? createdon, pub_date, unpub_date? If you didn’t set pub_date for example and ask for it in your snippet, it will return Jan 01 of 1970. Createdon should work anytime.
