Forgive me if I've duplicated something that has already been stated
in my first post on the group.
I had a need and design to take a DATE data type and display it with
the niceShort helper. It worked with the exception of showing all
zeros for the time.
I added to helper:
* Returns a nicely formatted date string for given Date string.
*
* @param string $dateString Date string or Unix timestamp
* @param int $userOffset User's offset from GMT (in hours)
* @return string Formatted date string
*/
function niceDate($dateString = null, $userOffset = null) {
if ($dateString != null) {
$date = $this->fromString($dateString, $userOffset);
} else {
$date = time();
}
$ret = date("D, M jS Y", $date);
return $this->output($ret);
}
/**
Now 2008-10-31
Gets displayed as Fri, Oct 31st 2008
All that changed from the other functions was the removal of the h:i
in the date function. Hope this is useful to someone. Or if there is a
better way to do the same thing I'm open to learning!
