Hi,

Wondering if it is possible to format a date type document property to be a different date format. When I use the following in my xslt
Code:
<xsl:value-of select="data [@alias = 'PositionCloseDate']"/>
I get a date format in timestamp format eg "2008-03-28T00:00:00". I would like to format it to be "dd/mm/yyyy".

Also, can someone suggest any good online xslt learning resources?

Thanks,

Tony Forgan

There are a couple ways you can format a date field. The built-in umbraco functions have the advantage of formatting the date according to localization rules automatically.

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime('String Date', 'String Format')"/>


You can read more about it at http://forum.umbraco.org/20383#post-20396 and http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Reference/umbraco.library/FormatDateTime

You might also use the Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes functions.
