Sorry if I was unclear Saq. The macro doesn't generate the format, it generates the date. I need to pass <$view> a date *other than today* and have it apply the formatting.
I should point out in case anyone else finds it helpful, while Jed's add-time.js ( http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Finmysocks%2Fmacros%2Fadd-time.js) is great, it didn't let me start with any other date than today, which I was able to tweak. This code (below) is what I'd love to add a parameter string to so that I can also pass it "YYYY-MM-DD". I hope that makes more sense. /*\ title: $:/stobot/macros/dateadd.js type: application/javascript module-type: macro Takes a base date and adds days, months or years \*/ (function(){ /*jslint node: true, browser: true */ /*global $tw: false */ "use strict"; /* Information about this macro */ exports.name = "dateadd"; exports.params = [ {name: "basedate"}, {name: "days"}, {name: "months"}, {name: "years"} ]; /* Run the macro */ exports.run = function(basedate, days, months, years) { //Make each date object. if (basedate === "") { var newdate = new Date(); } else { var baseyear = basedate.substr(0,4); var basemonth = basedate.substr(4,2); var baseday = basedate.substr(6,2); var newdate = new Date(Number(baseyear), Number(basemonth)-1, Number( baseday), 0, 0, 0); } var new_year = Number(newdate.getFullYear())+Number(years); var new_month = Number(newdate.getMonth())+Number(months); var new_day = Number(newdate.getDate())+Number(days); var output_date = new Date(new_year, new_month, new_day, 0, 0, 0); var result = (output_date.getFullYear()*10000) + ((output_date.getMonth()+1 )*100) + (output_date.getDate()); return result; }; })(); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
