ViewWidget date format display:
updating an idea/chart originally by Stephan Hradek 2014, updated 10/2019 using the current official format list for date format options
Uses a macro based on, demonstrating the default view widget with date format template. Could easily be expanded to read variables or incorporate other features.
\define datedisp(datefield,dateformat)
<$view field='$datefield$' format="date" template="$dateformat$"/>
\end
1st value– field to be read, if its not the created or modified fields, I assume it must be formatted in the standard TW format (see chart below) 2nd value– format desired (see chart below), must be in " " marks if you use multiple values or separator characters or spaces
<<datedisp ddd>> <<datedisp "hh12:mm:am DD-MM-YYYY">>
as opposed to now macro which takes the current time that the macro is involed or refreshed:
<<now ddd>> - <<now "hh12:mm:am DD-MM-YYYY">>
CREATED: Fri - 1:20:am 8-11-2019
MODIFIED: Sat - 5:26:pm 9-11-2019
NOW macro: Mon - 11:12:pm 11-11-2019
ddd Fri Short day of week
DD 8 Day of month
0DD 08 Adds a leading zero
DDth 8th Adds a suffix
