Smarty

[drdrone]

I have this code in my template in a section loop:

{$content_items[i].created|date_format:"%A, %d %B %Y %R"}

which outputs for sample: Wednesday, 14 July 2010 07:32.

Now I would like the time to change +2 hours.

I have tried everything and this simply does not work. I thought it should look like:

{$content_items[i].created|"+2 hour"|date_format:"%A, %d %B %Y %R"}

If I remove my content_items variable it works with the current time.

If your value is a timestamp:

No, then I get Thursday, 01 January 1970 03:33

my var $content_items[i].created looks like this without any date_format:
2010-07-14 07:32:45

is your value a unix timestamp? (seconds since epoch)

[drdrone]

No its not. $content_items[i].created fetches content from mysql and the tables contains 2010-07-14 07:32:45

If you want to do this in template, you need to convert that to a timestamp. you'd be better of handling it in a plugin. But there are probably ways to get around it. maybe:

It works as a charm after I converted it to a timestamp directly in the template. Thanks a lot for your help!
