What is the best way to store a date in UK format (d-m-Y) rather than the default (Y-m-d) default in the backend of OctoberCMS?
Change the format in the YAML file. Plugins/Author/Plugin/Models/PluginModel/fields.yaml . Look at the documentation here.
published_at:
label: Published
type: datepicker
mode: date
format: d-m-Y
If you are using the Builder plugin there is a spot for "format".

Would you be able to advise how can i change the format of the date the functions isbusday and busdate are using ?
The functions use US date format by default, but I need them to be in European format dd/mm/yyyy.
I have attempted to use the code below but it is not working.
isbusday('01-01-2015','dd-mm-yyyy')
busdate('01-01-2015','dd-mm-yyyy',1)
Thank you very much.
You want to convert your string to a datetime object. That is where you can control the format:
d = datetime('01-01-2015','InputFormat','dd-mm-yyyy');
isbusday(d)
busdate(t)
See the documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/datetime.html and https://www.mathworks.com/help/finance/isbusday.html
I'm migrating a whole bunch of web pages that were written in classic asp over to a new server, and have discovered many references to the simple date() function, like:
if cint(left(date,instr(date,"/")-1)) < 9 then blah blah
I'm getting errors because the new server's default date format is returning yyyy-mm-dd, and the code above is expecting it to be in dd/mm/yyyy format.
Rather than manually fixing every occurrence, of which there could be hundreds, I'm looking to see if I can change the default date format for asp so that date() returns dd/mm/yyyy. I thought by simply changing the system's short date format would do the trick, but even after restarting the server it's still showing yyyy-mm-dd.
Is there a setting somewhere where you can specify the default date format when using the date() function?
This worked for me:
change global.asa, in the Sub Session_OnStart, add a line
Session.LCID=1033
I'm having some problems converting a string to a date object in google apps script.
My dates are in the following format, from a 3rd party API:
2013-01-17T17:34:50.507
I am attempting to convert this to a Date object:
return Date(stringDate);
And this is being returned:
Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 GMT+01:00 1970
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong, and how to resolve this issue ?
With moment.js, it is as easy as this to parse any of ISO 8601 format.
var date = Moment.moment("2013-01-17T17:34:50.507").toDate();
You can use moment.js to parse your arbitrary date string as well.
To use moment.js in GAS, you just need to add it in the script editor.
Open your script in GAS script editor and go to "Resources" then "Libraries...", then put this project key MHMchiX6c1bwSqGM1PZiW_PxhMjh3Sh48 and click "Add". Choose the version from the dropdown, then click "Save". Now, you are ready to use moment.js in GAS.
moment.js can be used to parse date string, create formatted date string, and many other date manipulation. Thanks to the author!
You can find the moment.js documentation here.
It doesn't appear that the Date object knows how to handle that date. The date is in ISO 8601 format. Javascript can handle Dates if they are given timezone information.
You will have to do some testing, but if those dates given to you are in UTC time, then just add a Z to the end of the date string before you call new Date().
Edit: The Apps Script Date object can't seem to handle a timezone other than UTC when parsing a Date. I opened an issue for it.
It doesn't work in GScript, at least for me at the time I'm writing it.
This post serves a working alternative: How do I format this date string so that google scripts recognizes it?
As of now new Date() seems to work:
var dT = new Date("2013-01-17T17:34:50.507");
console.info("dT: %s or %d", dT, dT.getTime());
returns dT: Thu Jan 17 17:34:50 GMT+01:00 2013 or 1.358440490507E12 in Google Apps Script
When I type:
Yii::app()->getLocale()->dateFormat
it gives me the correct dateformat for the current set language. (in my example it is 'de' => dd.MM.yyyy). But when I type:
Yii::app()->format->dateFormat
Yii gives me the date format for 'en_us' (Y/m/d).
With getLocale() I will get only the string saved in i18n file. In ->format->date() this format string should be used, but I don't find a way to assign the i18n string to the CDateFormatter or CFormatter Object.
The CFormatter component accessed with Yii::app()->format is not meant to be used for localization out of the box; it does not automatically work according to the application locale.
You could manually change the relevant properties on Yii::app()->format to bring it in line with the application locale, but there is a more convenient way to format dates:
Yii::app()->locale->dateFormatter->formatDateTime(...)
See CDateFormatter::formatDateTime for more information; if you want more control, there are other methods such as CDateFormatter::format available. Also keep in mind that CLocale::getNumberFormatter() is available to format numbers.
I would like to format a J2ME Date object to only show the date part, not the date and time. What would be the easiest way? Would probably need to include an external library to do this.
java.util.Calendar has all the methods required to format a date output.
