Custom Date not working [Solution SEE Tooltip]

Hey guys, I am trying to use a custom date something like: so in the Created date field I put: the problem is that %M does not work.

I am doing something wrong?

I think your post is not related to FLEXIcontent, maybe post in joomla or PHP forums ??? or also search more the web and PHP documentation ???

Regards

I didn't make my self clear.
This is what I trying to do:
[attachment=0:2rlbyngq]<!-- ia0 -->bug-date.PNG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2rlbyngq]

The custom string I want is this one:
the bug is this one the "%M" should be presente as:
Jan Feb Mar May Jun
but is it giving me in the front end:
00

---

> double zero

Now you are clear. And the image was helpful to see the mistake

I don't know if your translation of tooltip of this parameter (custom format) is correct, but it says to enter text as describe in www.php.net/strftime :

DO NOT ENTER HTML, what you type in there it is given to strftime function.
Enter only the date format, e.g. like:
%Y-%m-%d
will result in
2011-07-21

Regards

Can you with %M (CAPITAL M) it does not work.

That what I am trying to SAY.

As you shouwed on the link there is a CAPITAL "M"
for months.
It does not work. Can you try it?

the result is always "00"

I tested in v1.5.6 and it works.

NOTE that a format like : %d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S
will display hours minutes and seconds.
20/11/2011 19:20:55

When you edit the item , and after graphically selecting date (e.g. 2011/11/20) do this:
add a space just after date and write time like this
2011/11/20 19:20:55

Then it should work.

Sorry for my incompetence but from the PHP manual "M" does not represent minutes but MONTHS.
[attachment=1:27pjvsbh]<!-- ia1 -->bug-date-2.PNG<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:27pjvsbh]

As you can see the M is for Short Monthly names and not for minutes.

I am wrong? I got it to work for now.
[attachment=0:27pjvsbh]<!-- ia0 -->bug-date-3.PNG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:27pjvsbh]

But instead of "OCTOBER" I wanted "Oct" but this is not really necessary, but I just want to clarify why the "M" is for Minutes and not Months?

Please check this page for available format modifiers:
(your tooltip in field configuration should also state this web address:)
www.php.net/strftime

Regards

hehehee

it is suppose to be "%b" nice

WORKED!! Thanks.

IDIOT OF ME:D JUST NOTICE THE TOOL TIP GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

mmm at most places , the existing Tool-tips are good. But on other places they need improvement, e.g. by adding examples ..., then of course people that make the translations should update the translations, otherwise the users will never see the new improved tool-tips ...

When you write better on-line tips, then the questions that users will make be fewer, and this is important.
