Display custom date format + ordinal suffix
Standard member
I've only been able to achieve showing the ordinal suffix by adding a new symbol that does this automatically ({$ORDINAL}) but I have to split up the date in multiple {$FROM_TIMESTAMP} symbols to use this method. Frankly, it looks kinda hideous:
Code
{$FROM_TIMESTAMP*,%b,{ADD_DATE_RAW}} {$ORDINAL,{$FROM_TIMESTAMP*,%e,{ADD_DATE_RAW}}} {$FROM_TIMESTAMP*,%Y\, %l:%M %p,{ADD_DATE_RAW}}The above works, but I was hoping for a much simpler way of doing this. According to a user comment on php.net, we can use a %O (capital 'o') parameter to display the ordinal suffix (though it's not officially documented as supported using php's strftime).
I tried this but it doesn't work:
Code
{$FROM_TIMESTAMP*,%b %e %O %Y\, %l:%M %p,{ADD_DATE_RAW}}

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
