Drupal - date field language when used for RSS - date

I have a problem with the following scenario.
I set up a node with a date field with type "Date (ISO format)".
To display that nodes in a RSS feed, i created a view from content and format RSS-feed. In addition i set up a custom date format via "r" (RFC 2822) or (D, d M Y H:i:s O) in Drupal and used it for that field "field_time". That field is used as pubDate.
The date field creates instead of:
Wed, 01 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0200
the "german" version.
Mi, 01 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0200
If i do the same with for example the "created" date i get the correct english output.
I have allready tried to set the "field language" of that view to english.
Also i tried to programmatically change the output in the rows tpl (overwhelming my php knowledge).
Its a very similar case like here.
Maybe someone can get me a hint to alter that field, change it in the rows template or something similar.
Thanks in advance!

After some trail and error, i rewrote the output of my field "field_time" via the views templates at field level. I get the raw value from the field, converted it "again" in the RFC 2822 format and it sticks in english.
$rawdate = $row->field_data_field_time_field_time_value;
$unixdate = strtotime($rawdate);
print date('r', $unixdate);
I modified it after that a bit to get other nodes also in the feed which have only e.g. node_created via "rewrite if empty" in the views UI.
if (isset($row->field_data_field_time_field_time_value)) {
$rawdate = $row->field_data_field_time_field_time_value;
$unixdate = strtotime($rawdate);
print date('r', $unixdate);
} else {
print $output;
}
Im not sure, if that is very clean. Suggestions still welcome.

How to get RFC1123 Date format for current date time using XSLT 2.0

I am trying to retrieve current date time in RFC1123 date format in XSLT.
has anybody tried this using XSL2.0?
I have seen code for converting various date times based on zone in XSLT2.0 and to format in specific date time format such yyyy/mm/dd or YYYY:MM:DDTHH:MM:SS.0Z, but couldnt find a way to format it to show like this
Tue, 09 Jul 2019 20:34:29 GMT
concat(date:add('1970-01-01T00:00:00',concat('PT',floor(dp:time-value() div 1000),'S')),':',dp:time-value() mod 1000)
This returns in GMT format like this 2019-07-09T21:01:26:547
How to format it for - Tue, 09 Jul 2019 20:34:29 GMT using XSLT2.0?
Use current-dateTime() to get the current date and time and then use format-dateTime to format it as needed, see the spec https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-dateTime on details: a picture string
'[FNn,*-3], [D01] [MNn] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [z]'
on my machine in German summer time gives
format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[FNn,*-3], [D01] [MNn] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [z]')
as
Wed, 10 July 12:01:13 GMT+02:00
This is meant as an example on the use of format-dateTime, I haven't checked the exact details of the RFC you cited to try to implement the exact requirements.
Thanks for quick reply, your solution worked using Altova XML Spy, but unfortunately it didnt worked for me in Datapower using XSLT2.0, Not sure what was wrong, may be some issue with DP firmware version.
just for other users to make this post more helpful. I tried below 2 options which didnt work for me, but might be useful for others.
using XSLT
<xsl:value-of select="java:java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.RFC_1123_DATE_TIME.format(ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC))"></xsl:value-of>
<xsl:value-of select="format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[FNn,*-3], [D01] [MNn] [H01]:[m01]:[s01] [z]')"/>
So I used Gateway script to get same date format which I was looking for and stored in context variable using below
var dateNeeded = new Date()).toUTCString(); //Thu, 11 Jul 2019 21:08:12 GMT

The difference in strings in Tableau

I am using Tableau Server version 10.4.3
I have a dimension rTime which has string value. the entries in rTime is of like this
May 10, 2019 8:59:56.303 PM UTC
I want to check whether the rTime is today or not. I cannot use DateParse since my server doesn't have this functionality.
I created a calculated field CheckrTime with below content :
STR(LEFT(SPLIT([rTime],':',1),LEN(SPLIT([rTime],':',1))-2))
When I am dragging CheckrTime into workspace area, the output is coming in below format which is what I wanted :
May 10, 2019
When I am checking ISDATE("May 10, 2019") (a normal string), it is outputting TRUE as expected but when I am checking ISDATE(CheckrTime) it is outputting FALSE . Why?
The reason I am checking above thing is I am looking to use DATEDIFF function of tableau in this way:
DATEDIFF('day', DATE(CheckrTime), TODAY()) == 0
NOTE
If someone is wondering ,I have taken care of the level of granularity.
If you have a better solution then the one I am following, please do tell me.
This is working for me. I would expect May 10 <> May 16 (today) and therefore return false. However, when I change your example to today's date it does in fact come back as true.
You could also try this formula for the date LEFT([rTime],FINDNTH([rTime],' ',3)). It is slightly less complicated but will give you the same answer.
Calculated field (date type) depends the locale used which defines date format. Are you able to use Date function?
In Tableau website there is a example using english locale
For string 06May2017
DATE (LEFT([Original Date], 2) + "/" + MID([Original Date],3,3) + "/" + RIGHT([Original Date],4))
Above mentioned highligts / character between digits which is depending on locale

Changing the Date Format the p-Calendar Transfers

I have a component, p-Calendar.
I had no trouble finding a way to receive the date I selected, and modify it.
<p-calendar
[showIcon]="true"
(onSelect)="onSelectMethod($event)"
[(ngModel)]="myDate"
[dataType]="date"
>
</p-calendar>
So basically when I hit a different date in the calendar, it does catch the date correctly. It will transfer this information:
"Thu Dec 08 2016 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)"
While I can see that all this detail is useful, I really just want my component to receive:
12/08/16.
Is there any simple way to do this, perhaps some inherent method that comes with the calendar, without manually doing string modifications in my code? I read the documentation and couldn't find the information I am looking for.
The onBlur method seems to be transferring the data in the way I want it to. Unfortunately onBlur only works when you type in the date manually, or when you're one date selection behind. It would be great to somehow call PrimeNG's onBlur method after you made a selection in the calendar drop-down.
I wouldn't particularly recommend this as it's a hacky solution, it is probably better to do transformations of the myDate as appropriate for display or other purposes.
If you really, really want to do this so that the myDate in your component only contains a short date without all that time and location information you can go ahead and separate out the model bindings to make it work like so:
template.html
<p-calendar [ngModel]="myDate"
(onSelect)="onSelectMethod($event)"
[dataType]="date">
</p-calendar>
component.ts
onSelectMethod(event) {
let d = new Date(Date.parse(event));
this.myDate = `${d.getMonth()+1}/${d.getDate()}/${d.getFullYear()}`;
}
Here's a functioning demo: http://plnkr.co/edit/IGRfXjtqIo0TEr2iDC06?p=preview
In case you were wondering about applying a pipe, you would do a straight [(ngModel)]="myDate" bind and, where you want to see the short date in the template do {{myDate | date: 'MM/dd/yy'}}

Date format in a table SAPUI5

I have created a table using SAPUI5 and I get the data to the table using ODATA service. BUt, I have a column which is of a type DATE and the format is something like this "Thu Jan 13 2011 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (Mitteleuropäische Zeit)".
I tried to google and I found this blog which is really nice.
But here I see also a jsbin example where only a single data value has been used. But I need to select one whole column "Businessdate" and format it to something like this ´13.01.2014´. Any suggestions?
The data in my source table is of type DATE.
Thanks
I have updated your jsbin example: http://jsbin.com/cika/4/edit
The changes I've made:
I have mimicked your ODate date's ISO8601 format by just setting it to the current date:
oModel.setData({
dateValue: new Date() // I.e. Mon Feb 24 2014 17:35:22 GMT+0100 (W. Europe Standard Time)
});
Just let the DatePicker control format it to your desired output format ('dd-MM-yyyy'):
new sap.ui.commons.DatePicker("date2",{
width: "10em",
value: {
path: "myModel>/dateValue",
//the format information
type: new sap.ui.model.type.Date({pattern: "dd.MM.yy"})
}
});
Hope this helps!

Converting a string timestamp to Date results in reset to UNIX epoch

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
