another time script

not sure what line exactly i need to uncomment to get it work…

//Depending on whether your page supports SSI (.shtml) or PHP (.php), UNCOMMENT the line below your page supports and COMMENT the one it does not:
//Default is that SSI method is uncommented, and PHP is commented:

var currenttime = '<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S"--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->' //SSI method of getting server date
//var currenttime = '<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>' //PHP method of getting server date

in default settings it displays: Current time undefined NaN, NaN NaN:NaN:NaN

Re: another time script

You need to write it like this for txp:

<txp:php>print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time());</txp:php>

The "F d, Y H:i:s" section determines how the time and date will be shown and you can change this format by changing the placeholders – e.g. just for hours, minutes, seconds use H:i:s". The placeholders are explained in the php docs on the date function.

Note that unlike the other script you posted, this does not update live.

Mary’s plugin upm_datetime provides a neat little wrapper for this, e.g. for the above, use:

<txp:upm_datetime function="date" format="F d, Y H:i:s"/>
