Smf date format for database entry in java?

[Patey]

I'm trying to manually add a user to an smf database in java, but can't figure out how to get the current date in the proper format. anyone know how I can do that?

I'm attempting to do it with this code, but can't figure out the proper format:

Code Select Expand


    SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    Date now = new Date();
    String strDate = sdformat.format(now);

You need a timestamp, which is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970. now.getTime()/1000 might get you somewhere useful.

Smf dates, like most database dates are stored in unix time format...  Which, is as Arantor explains


Do note, there is more to adding a user than just adding a row in the members table.

what else do I need to do?

Look at the create user function...

Subs-Members.php, registerMember() in particular.

so maybe it'd be better if my question were "how to register member in java?" ? lol


I should be more specific with what I'm trying to do -

I'm designing a bukkit plugin for a minecraft server and I want the user to be able to register on the forums via command.

Very few people here are Java programmers (I can read it but I'd be terrible at writing it)

Thing is, to register from Java that means you have to be running Java on your server...
