Simple Date/Time Plugin (plg_aqsg-currentdatetime) is a
Joomla 1.5 plugin which enables you to automatically include the
current date in your
content..
Here are some examples:
- { currentdatetime }Today is the %dd%%daysuffix% of %MONTH% %yyyy%{ /currentdatetime } - Today is the 7th of January 2009
- { currentdatetime }%rfc2822%{ /currentdatetime } - Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:48:05 +1100
- { currentdatetime }%military%{ /currentdatetime } - 20090107230105EST
HOW TO INSTALL
Step 1
First install the Simple Date/Time Plugin using the Joomla 1.5 installer.
Step 2
Create a new content item (or open an existing one) and simply insert { currentdatetime }%rfc2822%{ /overlib }, where you want your current date/time string to
appear inside your text. It doesn't have to be at the end of your article, it can be anywhere within your content item.
Step 3
Open up your site and you should see the current date/time text inside your article. You can add as many date/time replacements as you want in each content item.
