The % items on the right hand side are the same as those supported by the php function strftime().
The string “?:”, if present will return the string following the “?:” if the time value is 0. Otherwise, the format
string up to the “?:” is used.
See "Date/Time Format String Reference" on page 497 in this chapter for a full list of the supported date/time
format string arguments.
Examples of date formatting using the nwadateformat Smarty modifier are as follows:
{$u.expire_time|nwadateformat:"longdate"}
Monday, 07 April 2008, 2:13 PM
{$u.expire_time|nwadateformat:"iso8601"}
20080407
{$u.expire_time|nwadateformat:"iso-8601t"}
2008-04-07 14:13:45
{$u.expire_time|nwadateformat:"iso8601?:N/A"}
20080407 (orN/A if no time specified)
{$u.expire_time|nwadateformat:"%m/%d/%Y"}
04/07/2008
nwatimeformat Modifier
The nwatimeformat modifier takes one argument – the format description. The “minutes_to_natural”
argument converts an argument specified in minutes to a text string describing an equivalent but more natural
measurement for the time interval (hours, days or minutes depending on the value). An example of this usage
is for the expire_postlogin field which has a value measured in minutes:
{$u.expire_postlogin|nwatimeformat:"minutes_to_natural"}
The other formats accepted for this modifier are the same as those described for the nwadateformat modifier.
See "nwadateformat Modifier" on page 496.
