Happy new year, everyone.
I have a customer in Australia who uses a server in California. I'd like to
give them a configurable offset value (plus or minus hours) that could be used
to change the time they're seeing. I know I could muck with the time from
within the application itself, but ultimately, I think it would be better if
the end-user could set the value, so that (for example) users in different
timezones can adjust the times to suit their locale. Here is a hack of
modifier.date_format.php that seems to work:
function smarty_modifier_date_format($string, $format="%b %e, %Y", $offset=0,
$default_date=null)
{
echo "<h1>$offset</h1>";
if($string != '') {
return strftime($format, smarty_make_timestamp($string) + ($offset*3600));
} elseif (isset($default_date) && $default_date != '') {
return strftime($format, smarty_make_timestamp($default_date) +
($offset*3600));
} else {
return;
}
}
Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work without swapping $offset and
$default_date, and I fear that may break existing code. Does anyone have any
ideas, and could something like the above be included in the next Smarty release?
cheers,
Travis
