Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt template date formats?

2015-10-09 Thread Jane Sandberg 
Hi all,

Thanks for these suggestions.  The "sledgehammer" approach of using
the library setting was the only thing I had much success with, but it
looks like this should work for us.  I used the following format to
make sure it wasn't too many characters to display nicely in the staff
client:

-MM-dd (EEE)

Again, I really appreciate your help!

  -Jane

Which is why I suggested the %due_date_sort_value% variant.

Quoting "McCanna, Terran" <tmcca...@georgialibraries.org>:

I tested %a (and every other standard and non-standard letter, lower  
case and capitalized) and didn't find one that worked with %due_date%.

If %a works (and I haven't tested to see that it does) you would
probably want this:

%DATE_FORMAT(%due_date_sort_value%, %a)%

The pre-formatted %due_date% doesn't usually parse as a date.

Hi Jane,

I haven't tested this, but I think you can get the day of the week with %a:

%DATE_FORMAT(%due_date%, %a)%

Hi Evergreen,

We were wondering if we could change the format of the due date in
receipt templates.  The %due_date% macro gives us the -MM-DD
format, but we were interested in getting the day of the week in there
somehow.  Is this a possibility?

Thanks,

So, you are looking for a date like "Wednesday, October 7, 2015"? I've not ran 
across that date format.

Hi Jane, 

I haven't tested this, but I think you can get the day of the week with %a:

%DATE_FORMAT(%due_date%, %a)%
