GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309402
'Insert Time' should offer some more formats used in HTML
Last modified: 2005-10-25 15:36:07 UTC
It was requested to add some the ISO 8601 date/time format to the 'TInsert Time' dialog. The original request was made at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185158. I suggest two new formats: (1) ISO 8601 used by the "date" meta tag, e.g. <meta name="date" content="2003-03-17T11:47:53-0300"> that's strftime() with "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z" (see also date --iso-8601=seconds) (2) RFC 822/850/2616 used for the "expires" meta tag e.g. <meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sat, 01 Dec 2001 00:00:00 GMT"> that's strftime() with "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z" in GMT, so we need to temp. use gmtime(). Probably we could add an automatic update of the date meta-tag (e.g. during save action), as we update the authors meta tag.
Created attachment 48602 [details] [review] A proposal for the new format addditions. That's a proposal to fix the base feature request. The patch would add the requested time/date formats to the dialog.
is this in CVS already Daniel? then we can close it
It is now part of the 1_0 branch, but not competely implemented in the development branch. The feature to provide a dialog for the Expires meta tag would need the implementation of a calendar. So this bug should still stay open.
Implementation is done for both stable and cvs. I will ignore a possible enhancement or implementation for the expires meta tag at the moment. This is really minor. So closing this bug now.
