Re: Community Application - Timestamp field

[Andr� van Toly]

Hi,
I believe you should divide the community 
timestamp by 1000. It is a Long in milliseconds 
since 1970, while other 'timestamps' in MMBase 
are seconds since 1970.

I used the following piece of code although i 
must say it doesn't look very elegant:

<mm:field name="timestamp" jspvar="ts" vartype="String" write="false">
  <% ts_sec = Long.parseLong(ts) / 1000; %>
</mm:field>
<mm:import id="ts"><%= String.valueOf(ts_sec) %></mm:import>
<mm:write referid="ts"><mm:time format="dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm" /></mm:write>

Greetings!
I am using the MMBase Community application and 
I would like posted messages to display the date 
in the following format:

                 November 10, 2004
I am using the following code to do this:
                    <mm:field name="timestapsec" 
id="commentdate" write="false"/>

                    <mm:time 
referid="commentdate" format=":FULL.FULL" 
precision="hours"/>


However, I keep on getting the same date 
displayed, no matter the day the message was 
posted.


If I use the following code (that comes with the 
community application) then it works, however it 
does not display the results I want


                    <mm:field name="day(timestampsec)" />
                    <mm:field name="month(timestampsec)" />
                    <mm:field name="year(timestampsec)" />


Any help is grealy appreciated.

Thanks,
Curtney
