date Plugin

This plugin gives you the possibilities of the strftime or date function. With the relative date/time formats for the strtotime function you can create any date/time output you want.

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

For development version, see Development.

{{date>%A: %d.%m.%y}}

Gives you the current date in format: Dayname: DayNumber.MonthNumber.Year E.g. When today is Christmas 2014, then the output is: Wednesday: 24.12.2014

{{date>D, d M Y H:i:s O|timestamp=mktime(18, 25, 0, 12, 02, 2014)|mode=date}}

Gives you: Tue, 02 Dec 2014 18:25:00 +0000

Basic syntax:

{{date>format|key1=value1|key2=value2...}}

• format string to format the ouput, see PHP manual for strftime and date.
• key can be one of this:
  • timestamp — If given, the transmitted timestamp is used instead of the current time/date.
  • now — Unix timestamp which is used as a base for the calculation of relative dates.
  • locale — set locale LC_TIME settings to specify the language in which the output is given.
  • mode=date — Use the date function instead the strftime function.

Only format is required. All parameter are optional. The sequence of the optional parameters is not important.

values: Unix timestamp

You can use strtotime or mktime here.

values: Unix timestamp

You can use strtotime or mktime here.

{{date>%d.%m.|timestamp=strtotime('next monday')|now=strtotime('last saturday')}}

Please note:

{{date>%A: %d.%m.%y|timestamp=strtotime("+1 day")|now=strtotime("Monday this week")}}

and

{{date>%A: %d.%m.%y|timestamp=strtotime("+1 day",strtotime("Monday this week"))}}

give the same output. The now parameter redirects his value only when a strtotime in the timestamp value is used.

values: A category/locale name after RFC 1766/ISO 639

Set the locale LC_TIME information only for the plugin output.

{{date>%A: %d.%m.%y|locale=de_DE}}

So Christmas 2014 in Germany is on: Mittwoch: 24.12.2014

values: date

Use the date function instead the strftime function. By default the strftime function is used.

The Unix time gives you the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970. It's a system for describing instants in time

Use strtotime or mktime or Unix Timestamp - Epoch Converter or a Unix Epoch Time Converter

The strtotime('Monday this week') switches the week on sunday. This is a bug in php: strtotime seems to use both sunday and monday as start of week

Use another relative date/time format, maybe with the now parameter.

locale key doesn't work. (Frusterick Manners)
