bugzilla:14286: local timezone conversion / {{USERTIME}},{{USERLOCALTIME}} for time formatting / signature time expansion
Add localtime conversion capability to LOCAL{TIMESTAMP,YEAR,...} variable
[edit]- {{LOCALTIMESTAMP}}: current local time stamp in iso-8601 format
- {{LOCALTIMESTAMP: UTC time in ISO-8601 format }}: convert the specified UTC time to local time stamp
Example
[edit]If user's timezone preference is +0900,
- {{LOCALTIMESTAMP:20080527160000}} --> 20080528010000
- {{LOCALYEAR:20080527160000}} --> 2008
- {{LOCALMONTH:20080527160000}} --> 05
- {{LOCALDAY:20080527160000}} --> 28
Add USERTIME/USERLOCALTIME, the date/time formatting variable
[edit]- {{USERTIME: UTC time in ISO-8601 format }}: format the time according to current user's date format preference, in UTC timezone
- {{USERLOCALTIME: UTC time in ISO-8601 format }}: format the time according to current user's date format preference, in local timezone (as specified in user's preference)
Example
[edit]- {{USERTIME: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }} --> 16:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- {{USERTIME: 20080527160000 }} --> 16:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- {{USERTIME}} --> {{USERTIME: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }}
- {{USERLOCALTIME: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }} --> 01:25, 28 May 2008 (XXX)
- {{USERLOCALTIME: 20080527160000 }} --> 01:00, 28 May 2008 (XXX)
- {{USERLOCALTIME}} --> {{USERLOCALTIME: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }}
Apply this to default signature expansion
[edit]- ~~~~ --> User123 (talk) {{USERLOCALTIME:20080527162500}}
This will be useful that,
- the readers will see the signature's timestamp in their preferred timezone and format
- the signature's timezone and format will be consistent with what shown in revision history
Problem
[edit]- bugzilla:14286#c3: all above variable will be broken by caching
- The possible solution may be to use AJAX --Ans 05:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- bugzilla:14286#c6: Post cache modifying is another solution --Ans 06:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- bugzilla:14286#c8: The already implemented {{int:...}} also kill content caching? --Ans 06:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
