How to display date in xtemplate

By cantastorie on 17 Jan 2005 at 15:22 UTC

Hi guys,
I'm trying to display the actual date in a theme based on Pushbutton.
Is there a way to do it?
Moreover are there any other variables than the ones listed in the drupal handbook?
Where can I find them?
Thanks in advance,
Riccardo

You could display the date in a custom block in the side bar.

What format do you want to display the date in?

Well, I would like to display the date just above the header.
However, I'd like to display the date as 17 January 2005.
Thank you.

PHPTemplate

This is the kind of thing which is best done using the PHPTemplate rather than the XTemplate theme engine.

XTemplate, which Pushbutton uses, is for designers to create templates without requiring any PHP programming knowledge. PHPTemplate allows PHP to be mixed into it's templates.

There's a PHPTemplate version of Pushbutton, I'd recommend using that as the starting point for your new theme if you need to add features for which you'll need to use PHP in the template.
