Date formatting

Friday 25 July 2003 2:05:52 pm

If you are familiar with PHP you can try to edit the ezdate datatype directly to make your change - or perhaps create a new datatype from a copy of ezdate (recommended). The datatype is in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezdate/

to modify the class is too much complicated for me, exists an other way?

Thanks

The output of the date datatype is controlled by the template content/datatype/view/ezdate.tpl (in design/standard/templates). Copy it to your own design and change the contents.
Example code:

{section show=$attribute.content.is_valid}{$attribute.content.timestamp|datetime(custom,"%d %m %Y")}{/section}

Also to clear up some misunderstandings in your code.
The expression $Child:item.data_map.data will return an object of the type eZContentObjectAttribute and cannot be converted directly to a date string. The datetime (or l10n(date) ) operator will only work on timestamps which are simple integers (number).
And also the ; (semicolon) after your string will probably make the template parser complain.
