Date handling is quite a mess, since "what ever you do, it will be wrong". Let me explain.
You want to have an input like: DD mmm YYYY I want to insert a date like this: YYYY 0MM 0DD eg: 2013 08 28 So how ever you store your date. If I would have to use it I'd want to have a possibility to adjust the display format. If the plugin does it my way, it may hurt your eyes :) In javascript you have a lot of functions and possibilities [1]: eg: >>> new Date() results in Sat Dec 14 2013 17:48:22 GMT+0100 (CET) >>> new Date().getTime() gives you the miliseconds from 1.1.1970 till now 1387039710156 -------------------- While the first string contains all the info to see the whole information when I did create it, it is quite hard to calculate eg: a time difference with it. I'll need to convert it, to use it with a program. With the second one time difference is easy. But nobody can read it :) So it depends on you, how to store your dates. You'll need to convert them anyway. With TW5 you can have any format. Just your plugins will need to know, how to work with them. There are allways pros and cons. The TW format for eg: "modified" is YYYYMMDDhhmmssmil YYYY ... year ... 2013 MM ... month ... 12 DD ... day ... 14 hh ... hour ... 18 mm ... minute ... 03 ss ... second ... 10 mil ... milisecond ... 023 Pro: - a very simple human readable format - a widget to display this info is relatively simple. Con: - no time zone is encoded, so it is lost - every user will want to apply his own display format that's why there are several (currently undocumented) functions to convert date formats. I think they are similar to TWc [2]. @Jeremy ?? hope that helps -mario [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getTime [2] http://tiddlywiki.org/#DateFormats -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
