Dirk Frederickx commented on JSPWIKI-240:
-----------------------------------------
janne,
I think it does make sense to have such a plugin.
It allows a wiki-page to specify a Date (or Time) and the jspwiki-engine would
represent it according the jspwiki user-preferred timeformat.
I'd suggest to keep this plugin very simply and only allow for a value
parameter, and no format parameter.
In [JSPWIKI-196] it was suggested to use the ISO8601 format as input.
{{{
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, [{DATE value='20080229' }] consectetuer adipiscing
elit.
}}}
It could also be convenient for other plugins, which need to publish a date, to
use this plugin as a helper.

> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugins
> Affects Versions: 2.6.2
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Goran Karlic
> Priority: Trivial
>
> _This issue originated from JSPWIKI-196_
> The *Date Plugin* needs to be modified in order to enable it to represent
> points in time that are stored in an format independent way.
> # Optional property {{format}} specified the format used for output (_no
> modification_)
> ## If not specified reverts to the user's prefered format
> # Optional property {{value}} stores the date according to
> {{jspwiki.defaultprefs.template.dateformat}} (e.g. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ)
> ## If not specified reverts to the current date and time
> This allows the Date Plugin to be used in several ways:
> * {{[{Date}]}} would output the current time in the user's prefered format
> * {{[{Date format='dd.MM.yyyy'}]}} would output the current time in the
> specfied format
> * {{[{Date format='dd.MM.yyyy' value='2008-01-31'}]}} would output
> {{31.01.2008}}
> * {{[{Date value='2008-04-10 18:20:30+0200'}]}} would output the specified
> point in time in the user's prefered format
> That can be used to do things like:
> {noformat}
> -- a.einstein commented this at [{Date value='1905-04-10 18:20:30+0100'}]
> {noformat}
> and would allow that date and time values are stored independent of their
> final representation format.
> *I wrote the Date Plugin as descibed above - what's the right way to get it
> to included in the next build?*
