dateformat full month YYYY
17 June 2011 at 5:03am
Hi all,
I thought this would be an easy thing to do but after banging my head against the wall till it bled I now have no choice but to seek your help.
I want the dates from the 2nd tutorial to display as e.g. "April 2010" instead of 04 2010
I thought it would be as easy as changing MM YYYY to something different in this line
$dateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'MM YYYY');
but haven't been able to figure it out.
Can this be done? I'm not very experienced as a developer so I hope someone might have a solution
Thanks for looking

Hi ambient.
If your problem is just the output, you could try this in your template (themes/tutorial/templates/Layout/ArticlePage.ss):
Instead of this...
$Content
<div class="newsDetails">
Posted on $Date.Nice by $Author
</div>
...try this:
...
$Content
<div class="newsDetails">
Posted on $Date.Month $Date.Year by $Author
</div>
...For more methods have a look at the Date Class in /sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Date.php
Cheers

Dates are confusing
$dateField->setConfig() is used when setting the default format for display in a Date field within a form as in
$dateField = new DateField( 'MyDate', 'Soeme date');
$dateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'MM yyyy');To format a date for output in your Template, Christians post of course is the way to go
If for some reason you wanted to format a date from within your Page controller, you'd could create a Date object first, then use its methods. Something like this:
function getMyDateNice() {
return $this->obj('MyDate')->Nice();

Hi Benni,
I didn't use the function in the end as I only wanted the date to output a certain way.
If thats all you want to then I would suggest using Christians technique.
In your ss file something like
$Date.DayOfMonth $Date.Month $Date.Year
You can see more methods of the Date Class in /sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Date.php

Hi,
i looked up the code in "/sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Date.php"
edit line 47 like thisfunction Nice() {
if($this->value) return date('d. F Y', strtotime($this->value));
}and everything works fine
thx ambient
