    Formatting dates in Templates

    Hi,

    I know how to format a date in an XSLT file, but how in a (.master) template?  When I choose "Insert Page Field," the only date-related option I see is "Format as date," but that automatically formats it as January 1, 2010.  Can I specify in my <umbraco:item> tag the format I want?

    Thanks in advance,

    Garrett

    Inline xslt is probably your best bet. Good example here.

    You could use

    xslt="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime({0}, 'Y MMM')"

    etc. inside your umbraco:item tag

    <umbraco:Item field="yourDate" runat="server" xslt="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime({0}, 'Y MMM')" ></umbraco:Item>

    untested, but should work

    AH YES! I keep forgetting about the xslt="" attribute.  Thanks as always, @dandrayne.
