Using Different Date Formats

ROL

Hi,

I've been working with ZP 1.3 for a couple of weeks now and have an observation and a question.

First the observation. I'm using the theme zpgalleriffic 1.0. After upgrading to ZP 1.3, I got this error posted to my News pages:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for checkforPassword(), called in /hermes/bosweb/web008/b84/sl.rangeofl/public_html/zenphoto/themes/zpgalleriffic/news.php on line 25 and defined in /hermes/bosweb/web008/b84/sl.rangeofl/public_html/zenphoto/zp-core/template-functions.php on line 4338

I "solved" it by removing the offending boolean function call "AND !checkforPassword()", which had no arguments, at line 25, as indicated.

My question is to whether I can have a different date format for the gallery images than the apparent "system-wide" general date format used for news, etc. The specific date-times used for all things digital are not appropriate for my images, as they are scans of actual darkroom originated prints (e.g., News-blog can be specified to the minute, my gallery prints only to the month and year in most cases). Also, why can't the dates be edited directly in the boxes within the image editor?

First, this is because you probably have an older theme version. The theme pages do not require the checkForpasswod() check anymore as it is done internally directly.

Seconde, the date has to be stored in the international format year-month-day -time in the database. This is also the reason why they can't be edited. You can set a system wide dateformat as you already noted. If you want to have specific dates for certain items you have to do that on your theme directly. Get the datetime for in this case directly and format them using the standard PHP functions or our function: http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_functions.php.html#functionzpFormattedDate

Thanks, I will try to tweak the gallery dates separately within the zpGalleriffic Theme.
