Hi Dominik,

Thanks for the info.

It doesn't seem to work completely like this. I'm getting a:

Notice: Object of class AgaviGregorianCalendar could not be converted to
int in /data/projects/agavi/0.11/src/date/AgaviCalendar.class.php on
line 246 

The resulting date ends up being a zero-timestamp (01-01-1970). The
formatting does seem to be correct, but maybe i'm calling it wrong?

Right now I do (in a template):
<pre>
<?php
        echo $tm->_d(strtotime($date));
?>
</pre>

While I'm at it. Here's another question. For some parts of the app I'd
like to use one format, for others another. Do I have to define domains
for both of them and then decide in the template in which domain the
date should be translated?

Greetings,
Koen
