Goran Karlic commented on JSPWIKI-240:
--------------------------------------

I am sorry for the confisuion. The Date Plugin of course does not exist - but, 
as Dirk points out, it would be great if it existed. I wrote this very simple 
plugin and would like it to be included in one of the next builds...

Following Dirk, It has only one parameter {{value}}. 

The only question that is left open is the Date/Time format of {{value}}:
* ISO8601
** _Using this would make it independent of changes in 
{{jspwiki.defaultprefs.template.dateformat}} and compatible between different 
JSPWikis_
* {{jspwiki.defaultprefs.template.dateformat}}
** _Changing {{jspwiki.defaultprefs.template.dateformat}} would break existing 
occurences_

> _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?*
