Behavior of txp:posted
posted has optional gmt and lang attributes. If you also use the format attribute, gmt and lang are applied before output.
But if you leave format unset, the tag defaults to using the date or archive date format set in preferences (depending on context), and ignores gmt and lang.
Looks like a bug to me, but perhaps I’m missing something. Is this intentional?

Also, “ modified uses essentially identical code, except that it is missing class and wraptag attributes. These two tags should work in the same way, with the same attributes.
I know it is a guiding principle of Txp development to keep function calls to a minimum, but this seems to be a case where it would be worth the extra function call to have a single function used by both tags.

Add “ expires to the list of functions that could share a central date output function.
link_date maybe too, although this tag defaults to the date format preference and does not use the archive date format preference.

“Then there’s “ image_date”:“http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=image_date, “ file_download_modified”:“http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=file_download_modified, “ file_download_created”:“http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=file_download_created, “ comment_time”:http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=comment_time. There is a separate pref for comment time, but the rest of these use the archive date format, I think.

Partially fixed with r3587.

Re: Behavior of txp:posted
Does anyone knows about this anymore? I’m using Textpattern 4.4.1 and if I use lang it doesn’t make any effect, with or without format.

I noticed a similar behavior just now on my sites. I have a multi-site install and neither the settings in for my Textpattern site nor an explicit lang=“de” will change the way dates are presented. Instead of 1. März 2012 I am stuck with 1. March 2012.
Anyone able to help out? I am using Txp 4.5.4 and I am sure it used to work correctly on both feierabendyogi.de and yauh.de
