Customizations

Customize the date format

The todo plugin doesn't use the Date format set by strftime so if you want to use a date format other than yyyy/mm/dd you'll have to make some modifications.

Note that these modification will not survive updates.

Rather than doing this customization, just add a pull request to the github repo, either add date format as a config option or update code to use dokuwikis dformat config option — Christian Marg 2020-02-06 16:20

Example:- Change to the Australian date format (dd/mm/yyyy)

Edit action.php and change

$newTag = preg_replace('/>/', ' #'.$user.':'.date('Y-m-d').'>', $todoTag)

to

$newTag = preg_replace('/>/', ' #'.$user.':'.date('d-m-Y').'>', $todoTag)

Edit syntax/todo.php and change

if(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($completeddate)) == $completeddate) {

to

if(date('d-m-Y', strtotime($completeddate)) == $completeddate) {

, change

case 'start':
if(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($value)) == $value) {

to

case 'start':
if(date('d-m-Y', strtotime($value)) == $value) {

, and change

case 'due':
                        if(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($value)) == $value) {

to

case 'due':
                        if(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($value)) == $value) {

and change

if(isset($data['start'])) { $return .= $data['start']->format('Y-m-d'); }
            $return .= ' → ';
            if(isset($data['due'])) { $return .= $data['due']->format('d-m-Y'); }

to

if(isset($data['start'])) { $return .= $data['start']->format('d-m-Y'); }
            $return .= ' → ';
            if(isset($data['due'])) { $return .= $data['due']->format('d-m-Y'); }

Edit syntax/list.php and change

if(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date)) == $date) {
                    $result[0] = $date;
                } elseif(preg_match('/^[\+\-]\d+$/', $date)) { // check if we have a valid relative va$
                    $newdate = date_create(date('Y-m-d'));
                    date_modify($newdate, $date . ' day');
                    $result[0] = date_format($newdate, 'Y-m-d');
                } else { 
                    $result[0] = date('Y-m-d');

            }
        } else { $result[0] = date('Y-m-d'); }

if(date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date)) == $date) {
                    $result[0] = $date;
                } elseif(preg_match('/^[\+\-]\d+$/', $date)) { // check if we have a valid relative va$
                    $newdate = date_create(date('d-m-Y'));
                    date_modify($newdate, $date . ' day');
                    $result[0] = date_format($newdate, 'd-m-Y');
