ordinal suffixes?

in the following tag

<txp:posted format=”%B %d, %y” gmt=“1” />

how would I be able to put in the “th/st/rd” suffixes?

this conversion specifier

%od

will not work.

so any ideas?

Re: ordinal suffixes?

Try %D instead of %d.

Re: ordinal suffixes?

txp:posted use strftime format codes which, I think, do not support things like 1th, 2nd, 3rd.

Re: ordinal suffixes?

Ruud is correct.

While date has ordinal suffixes, we’ve used strftime in Textpattern because the date/time need to be translatable.

But, all is not lost. You just need to grab a plugin.

Re: ordinal suffixes?

i think i have found a different plugin rather than jad_oldposted. it is the asy_showdate.
