Answered Stripping 0 from single digit date outputs

Quote from: travis_love at Aug 28, 2013, 11:26 PM

I have been looking through the list of available options for outputting the number of the current month, as usual way is (%m) but that outputs '01 – 09' where as I just looking for '1 – 9'. I have read through the standard PHP options and it says to use (%n), but that seems to just create a line break. anyone have any ideas how to output single digit dates if output filters like:

[[+tv.event_start_date:strtotime:date=`%Y – %m - %d, %l:%M`]]

Travis,

I believe that you need to use the stuff from strftime: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php Therefore there is no code for month without the leading zero. Not sure of how to approach this. I read something about a flag in there to remove.

note the %-m

All the best,

Jay

The MODX date output modifier uses strftime() as Jay suggests (instead of date(), which you'd expect), which has no single-digit month option.

Try %-m for the month. It won't work on Windows, but should on a linux server, and %-d should give you a single-digit day.


If that doesn't work, you'd have to create a custom modifier that uses PHP's date() function, but that won't respect any locale setting, which you'd need for a multi-language site.
