Hi all,ããIn Synchronet JavaScript, does anyone know if there's a way to get the settingãfor whether to use European date format (as under SCFG > System > ToggleãOptions > European Date Format (DD/MM/YY))? I've checked in the SynchronetãJavaScript Object Model Reference but I'm not seeing where that might beãavailable in JavaScript:ãhttp://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.htmlããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Maybe there is a way to figure out the date format being used withãthat.. I'll have to look into that.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Iãhave a message lister mod that I wrote that has a date header that this mightãbe useful for.. Not sure yet if I want to update it to detect the system dateãformat or leave it to use the YYYY-MM-DD format..ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

same as the month. system.datestr() can take a time_t value, so use constants:ããif (system.datestr(1407817211) == "08/11/14")...ããAdjust for your timezone as needed.ãã---ãhttp://DuckDuckGo.com/ a better search engine that respects your privacy.ã þ Synchronet þ My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)ã
