Hi,
nothing serious, but sometimes you need the UTC date or time in your plugins. I just copied the modifier date_format to a new modifier called utcdate_format. The usage is identical.
| Code: | <?php
/**
* Smarty plugin
* @package Smarty
* @subpackage plugins
*/
/**
* Include the {@link shared.make_timestamp.php} plugin
*/
require_once $this->_get_plugin_filepath('shared','make_timestamp');
/**
* Smarty utc date_format modifier plugin
*
* Type: modifier<br>
* Name: utcdate_format<br>
* Purpose: format datestamps via gmstrftime<br>
* Input:<br>
* - string: input date string
* - format: gmstrftime format for output
* - default_date: default date if $string is empty
* @link http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.modifier.date.format.php
* date_format (Smarty online manual)
* @param string
* @param string
* @param string
* @return string|void
* @uses smarty_make_timestamp()
*/
function smarty_modifier_utcdate_format($string, $format="%b %e, %Y", $default_date=null)
{
if($string != '') {
return gmstrftime($format, smarty_make_timestamp($string));
} elseif (isset($default_date) && $default_date != '') {
return gmstrftime($format, smarty_make_timestamp($default_date));
} else {
return;
}
}
/* vim: set expandtab: */
?> |
Would be nice, if it will be shipped to the package somewhen. |

Hi Hinrich,
nice work!
The package should be as small as possible, just add it to the Smarty-wiki so everyone can find it!
greets,
Joscha |

Maybe we could add to the tools instead of duplicate, like this:
| Code: | {$smarty.now|utc|date_format}
|
So all "utc" does is gets the date into UTC time, then on to date_format as usual.

On the other hand gmstrftime is a native PHP function and should be faster than passing the variable through two modifieres. |

| This fails for dates before 1970 usually. Would be better if the whole of Smartys date handling was based around somthing like the PEAR::Date class which can cope better with pre-1970 dates. |

It depends on your need. Imho in most cases nobody will need an UTC before 1970; most reviews aren't haveing any time information. In most cases I think, UTC is used for current or future time stamps in a for example calender. In this case, the modifier is called often and the execution time does matter.
So it allways depends on the individual usage. |
