Seem like formatting in the template is the right place -- may want to have
different formats in different places in your app.   Then you might also
think about how best to localize.

One idea is to localize a set of names for a set of formats:

[% dt_fmt = c.localize( '_DT_DATE_ONLY' );   foo.some_dt_object.strftime(
 dt_fmt ) | html %]


I have also used a function that does the above, but also clones and sets
the time zone and locale based on the user's preferences:

[% user_time( foo.event_start, '_DT_TIMESTAMP_WITH_ZONE' ) | html %]

Re: [Catalyst] Changing format of date field

[Ian Docherty]

DateTime has an option to change the default stringification with a
'formatter' option.

Also DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime is a convenience method, you
could choose to use the DBIx::Class::InflateColumn yourself and combine
this with the DateTime formatter option to give you the result you are
looking for.

[Catalyst] Changing format of date field

[Adam Witney]

Hi,

I have a date field in a DBIx::Class Result class using 
InflateColumn::DateTime. When I pass this through a Catalyst/TT 
application, the date is presented in -MM-DD format.


I can modify this to DD/MM/ in my TT template with object.dmy('/'), 
but I would prefer to change the default DateTime stringification, 
however I am not quite sure where or how to do this?


Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Adam
