SMF function 'timeformat': online doco doesn't match usage in 2.0.2

(1/2) > >>

Shambles:
I was looking for a full description of parameter #2 of the timeformat() function, as what I was using in load.php for the "join date" mod needed a tweak.

So I went to the doco here, but it doesn't tally with how I see it being used in SMF 2.0.2 (parameter #2 now seems to be a 'format' image).

Can I assume that the formats used in php's date() function are now applicable to timeformat()?

emanuele:
Looking at the code I see:

--- Code: ---// Format a time to make it look purdy.
function timeformat($log_time, $show_today = true, $offset_type = false)

--- End code ---
So parameter 2 is still the boolean $show_today like it was in 1.1...am I missing anything?

Shambles:
This is from my load.php... code was added by the "join date" mod


--- Code: ---'joined' => empty($profile['date_registered']) ? '' : timeformat($profile['date_registered'], '%b %Y'),
--- End code ---

After looking around the doco and not seeing a resemblance, I tried changing it to


--- Code: ---'joined' => empty($profile['date_registered']) ? '' : timeformat($profile['date_registered'], '%d %b %Y'),
--- End code ---

.. which correctly added the day of the month.

That's why I questioned the doco.

Am I picking up a different/alien version of the timeformat function?

emanuele:

--- Code: ---$str = !is_bool($show_today) ? $show_today : $user_info['time_format'];
--- End code ---
The second parameter is used in a mixed way, if it is not a boolean value is assumed to be the format of the time...another Easter egg! :P

Shambles:
Ahaaa!

Good shout, calling it an "Easter Egg" - so no doco* needs updating then  ;D
