Strange Time Tag behaviour

Kaspar Allenbach 31 Aug 2012 14:49 problem, rejected

Hi.
I have this string:

{konzert_datum:start_date format="%j %M. %Y, %H:%i"}

Everything is nice, except for %H:%i which displayes my current Servertime???

But If I write:
{konzert_datum:start_date format="%j %M. %Y"}, {konzert_datum:start_time format="%H:%i"}

Everything is alright.

Strange thing I think.

I work on MAMP + PHP 5.4.4.

   Might seem strange, but is intended. I recommend using start_date for dates only and start_time for times only.
   
   An event can be 'all day', which means it doesn't have a start or end time. Therefore, the start_date can be inconsistent. By splitting it in two, the start_time can return an empty string when all_day is enabled, keeping things consistent.

   Hi. Stumbled right into the same error in the next project.
   
   This is how it Works:
   {gig_datum:start_date format="%d %M. %Y"} - {gig_datum:start_time format="%H:%i Uhr"}
