Default Date Format

placeholder page

b302 - addedValues date formatting has been improved. 5 new default date formatters have been implemented, they provide the same localised date formats for each language Manila supports. They will appear in date formatting menus with the Local suffix (abbrevStringLocal, dateTimeLocal, shortStringLocal, longStringLocal, timeStringLocal). They are also available as macros addedValueSiteMacros.dateAbbrevString , addedValueSiteMacros.dateTimeString, addedValueSiteMacros.dateLongString, addedValueSiteMacros.dateShortString, addedValueSiteMacros.timeString. When used in page rendering situations, they respect the language setting for the current page, which can be different for different pages (urls) within your site; this also means that different websites can have different format and day and week names according to the site language setting. Lastly, it is possible to further customise each of the formats from the addedvalues preferences page, this is useful for English speakers who prefer not to use US date formatting, for example.
