I have a silly system where I define strftime patterns in a YAML file.
And at run time I create LIST_OPS vmethods based on those names and
patterns.
Then in the templates I can do this on DateTime objects:
[% event_time.time_brief %]
[% event_time.time_full %]
[% event_time.date_no_year %]
Of course, now I want to have some methods that adjust the timezone
and locale based on user preferences. I have the timezone and the
locale available in the stash.
Well, for locale I can call DateTime->DefaultLocale() at the start of
every request before calling process(). But I need to call
set_time_zone() on the DateTime objects when they are used. But,
IIRC, the context isn't available to vmethods. Correct?
What's a good approach?
Macros: time_full( event_time ) ?
Filter: event_time | time_full ?
I'm setting the locale globally (per request) so I suppose another
approach would be to put the timezone in a global as well.
