Re: Format date....
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2003
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 53629
interpreted = N
texte = Unfortunately, they can't rename the [date] field in an order file without breaking tons of existing code that expects [date] to be the order's date within an orderfile context. As for not behaving the same as the global [date] tag, that's because its a field in a special-case database, not a WebDNA tag. The behavior is the same as if you created your own database with a field named "date" then tried to access the date context within a founditems on that database. - brian On Monday, October 27, 2003, at 09:43 AM, Dan Strong wrote: > My $0.02 would be to name them [ORDER_DATE] & [ORDER_TIME] > -Dan > > > On Mon, 27 Oct 2003 10:44:31 -0600 > Donovan Brooke
