Forgive me if I've duplicated something that has already been stated
in my first post on the group.

I had a need and design to take a DATE data type and display it with
the niceShort helper. It worked with the exception of showing all
zeros for the time.

I added to helper:

 * Returns a nicely formatted date string for given Date string.
 *
 * @param string $dateString Date string or Unix timestamp
 * @param int $userOffset User's offset from GMT (in hours)
 * @return string Formatted date string
 */
        function niceDate($dateString = null, $userOffset = null) {
                if ($dateString != null) {
                        $date = $this->fromString($dateString, $userOffset);
                } else {
                        $date = time();
                }

                $ret = date("D, M jS Y", $date);
                return $this->output($ret);
        }

All that changed from the other functions was the removal of the h:i
in the date function. Hope this is useful to someone. Or if there is a
better way to do the same thing I'm open to learning!
