1) Script Title:gAjax RSS Pausing Scroller : Changing the Date Format

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...sescroller.htm

3) Describe problem: HI there, basically got this script working fine, just want to change the date format, it currently shows the date in this format "27 August 2009" I would like to display the date as "27/08/09 (dd/mm/yy)" - sure this is pretty simple to do but cant get my head around this and its driving me crazy

Hope someone can help as this code is awesome and this is the only thing that I cant seem to customise, incidentally it displays in Opera in the dd/mm/yy date format. Thanks

Inside gfeedfetcher.js, try finding the following function:

gfeedfetcher._formatdate=function(datestr, showoptions){
	var formatfield=function(f){
		return (f<10)? '0'+f : f
	}
	var itemdate=new Date(datestr)
	var parseddate=(showoptions.indexOf("datetime")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleString() : (showoptions.indexOf("date")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleDateString() : (showoptions.indexOf("time")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleTimeString() : ""
	return "<span class='datefield'>"+parseddate+"</span>"
}

and replace that with:

gfeedfetcher._formatdate=function(datestr, showoptions){
	var formatfield=function(f){
		return (f<10)? '0'+f : f
	}
	var itemdate=new Date(datestr)
	var parseddate=(showoptions.indexOf("datetime")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleString() : (showoptions.indexOf("date")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleDateString() : (showoptions.indexOf("time")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleTimeString() : ""
	return formatfield(itemdate.getDate())+"/" + formatfield(itemdate.getMonth()+1) + "/" + formatfield(itemdate.getFullYear())
}

That works great but how do I add the time to the end of the date string so eg 31/09/2009 - 13:23:12

Thanks for your time

Sure, try the code:

gfeedfetcher._formatdate=function(datestr, showoptions){
	var formatfield=function(f){
		return (f<10)? '0'+f : f
	}
	var itemdate=new Date(datestr)
	var parseddate=(showoptions.indexOf("datetime")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleString() : (showoptions.indexOf("date")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleDateString() : (showoptions.indexOf("time")!=-1)? itemdate.toLocaleTimeString() : ""
	return formatfield(itemdate.getDate())+"/" + formatfield(itemdate.getMonth()+1) + "/" + formatfield(itemdate.getFullYear()) + " - " + formatfield(itemdate.getHours())+":" + formatfield(itemdate.getMinutes()+1) + ":" + formatfield(itemdate.getSeconds())
}
