Fb:time

Description

Renders the date and time in the user's time zone.

Attributes

Required Name Type Description

required t

int

The time to display in epoch seconds.

optional tz

string

The time zone in which to display t. Acceptable formats include PHP's List of

Supported Timezones and +/- formats such as Etc/GMT-7. Note: Due to a

bug (see below) when using a timezone in the Etc/GMT format the time is

relative to the timezone. (default value is loggedinuser's timezone)

preposition

bool

Indicates whether to automatically insert prepositions as appropriate into the

time, where "at" prepends the time and "on" prepends the date if it appears.

(default value is false)

Examples

<fb:time t='1191648451'/>

<fb:time t="1180502413" tz="America/New_York" />

Notes

The time expands as needed. If t took place in the same day, only hour:minutes[am|pm] appears. If t is

in the same year, Month Day hour:minutes[am|pm] appears. Otherwise, Month Day, Year

hour:minutes[am|pm] appears.

When timezone is entered in the Etc/GMT format the time is interpreted as relative to that timezone.

This bug has been reported (and may be a smaller subset of this bug). The same behaviour does not

occur when the timezone is in the preferred Continent/City format.
