Formating Date

[LJG]

Hi Guys,

Looking for an extension that allows me to format date fields. I have a field
in my db that stores the date & time of record creation, which is fine. I just
want to display it on the page as a short date.

If I change it's format in the server bindings it causes a 500 server error

I am useing an MSACCESS db with ASPvb

TIA

That functionality is already built into dreamweaver, it's called
ServerFormats.
You can access the serverformats from the format column of the bindings tab
after selecting a Dynamic Binding (\looks like {rs.col} in Design View),
there are several date formats built-in including short date.

There are some Server Format extensions available for download, and i've
even created an extension for creating custom ServerFormats with your own
code.

The bad news is that ServerFormat Studio is very outdated as it was created
for Dreamweaver MX, however it might work with newer versions.

I Have tried the server bindings, if I select a format from that, that is when I get the server 500 error...is this a bug or does it work for other users?

Hi LJG,
it certainly works for me in multiple server languages, there must be
something wrong with the databinding you're trying to format (no data?), or
the server configuration (function disabled?).

Debugging that is really hard without precise information,
could you post the full error message (including number as the actual
message may be in a language that I don't understand), to see the full
message in Internet Explorer, go to your internet options and uncheck "Show
friendly Error Messages"
