Author: Wonder, November 7, 2005 Version: 1.1 Tags: Dates
The class outputs two given dates (or just one, if they're equal or a second date isn't specified) according to format strings for outputting each date individually (using the date-handling class) and an overall format string. It also highlights the date considered "new" (by default, a date within the last 24 hours).
Everything that can be configured is configured at initialization.
Initialization example:
^mDate:init[
$.dt_limit[1986-06-11]
$.format_string[%o / %n]
$.dtf_format_string[%d %h %Y %H:%M]
$.dtf_locale[rr-locale]
$.canvas_tag[div]
$.canvas_addtags[style="background-color: #efefef^; padding: 1em"]
$.new_tag[font]
$.new_addtags[color="#cc0000"]
$.old_tag[font]
$.old_addtags[style="color: #666666"]
]
$.dt_limit[date]— the date starting from which the given dates are considered new. Can be a string in sql format or adateobject. If not specified, a date is considered stale once 24 hours have passed.$.format_string[%o / %n]— the format string for outputting the two dates (o— old date,n— new date, e.g. the creation date and the update date, respectively).
Usage example:
^mDate:init[]
$dt_1[^date::create(1986;6;10;15;10)]
$dt_2[^date::create(2005;11;4;16;35)]
^mDate:print[$dt_1;$dt_2]
Returns the string:
10.06.1986 15:10 / <font color="#cc0000">04.11.2005 16:35</font>
