There seems to be a problem with using the Date Formatter widget on a Date/Time MySQL data type.
The problem is that the strtotime() PHP function does not recognize the default "31-12-2005 12:30:00" MySQL date/time format. So I wrote a small hack.
The code below should replace the "date" case in manager/includes/tmplvars.format.inc.php. Maybe this could make it into TP4?
case "date":
$value = parseInput($value);
// START HACK - Adam Crownoble 8/3/2005
// Check for MySQL style date
$date_match = '^([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})\ ([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})$';
if(ereg($date_match, $value, $matches)) {
$timestamp = mktime($matches[4], $matches[5], $matches[6], $matches[2], $matches[1], $matches[3]);
// If it's not a MySQL style date, then use strtotime to figure out the date
} else {
$timestamp = strtotime($value);
}
// END HACK
$p = $params['format'] ? $params['format']:"%A %d, %B %Y";
// $o = strftime($p,strtotime($value)); // OLD CODE
$o = strftime($p,$timestamp); // HACK Adam Crownoble 8/3/2005
break;
I have also attache the hacked TP3 tmplvars.format.inc.php file so you can just overwrite your existing file.
