This is an extension of Hierarchy, where you are introduced into the wild and baffling world of layouts and view functions. If you haven't been there yet, start there or this might not make much sense.

Purpose

Each of these pages is specifically designed to follow a function from how it appears in a view page down to its root functions, variables, and properties. Basically, by the end, you should understand in theory why a function exists and how its put together. Eventually, you will also be able to understand how to alter, change, and even override the functions and both where their variables are stored and why they're there.


In the Beginning

Add text.


Function: print_time

Add text.


class Entrylite

Functions

function print_time () [fixed];
Print the time of this post, with most useful information for user, and with tooltip for more.
function print_time (string datefmt, string timefmt) [fixed];

Print the time of the post, with customized date/time formats.

Stucture

function EntryLite::print_time() 
{
    print $this->time_display();
}


function EntryLite::time_display() : string 
{
    return $this->time_display("", "");
}
Let the real function decide on some nice defaults


function EntryLite::time_display(string datefmt, string timefmt) : string 
{
    if ($datefmt == "") {$datefmt = "med";}
    if ($timefmt == "") {$timefmt = "short";}
 
    var string ret;
    if ($datefmt != "none") { $ret = $ret + $this.time->date_format($datefmt); }
    if ($datefmt != "none" and $timefmt != "none") { $ret = $ret + " "; }
    if ($timefmt != "none") { $ret = $ret + $this.time->time_format($timefmt); }
    return $ret;
}
function builtin date_format () : string;
Returns date formatted as normal. /// SeeAlso: siteapi.core1.dateformats"
function builtin date_format (string fmt) : string;
Returns date formatted as indicated by \$fmt. One of: short, med, long, med_day, long_day. Or a custom format. Default is 'short'. /// SeeAlso: siteapi.core1.dateformats
function builtin date_format (string fmt, bool linkify) : string;
Returns date formatted in the same way as calling date_format(string fmt), but with day, month, and year as links to the corresponding archive pages.
function builtin time_format () : string;
Returns time formatted as normal. /// SeeAlso: siteapi.core1.dateformats
function builtin time_format (string fmt) : string;
Returns time formatted as indicated by \$fmt, or normal if blank. /// SeeAlso: siteapi.core1.dateformats

class Comment

Function

function Comment::print_time (string datefmt, string timefmt, bool edittime);
Same as EntryLite::print_time, except can pass in if we want the edit time or not.

Stucture

function Comment::print_time (string datefmt, string timefmt) 
{
    $this->print_time($datefmt, $timefmt, false);
}

class Page

Function

function Page::print_time();
Print the time when the page was created.

Structure:

function Page::print_time() 
{
    $this->print_time("","");
}
function Page::print_time(string datefmt, string timefmt) 
{
    if ($datefmt == ""){$datefmt = "med";}
    if ($timefmt == ""){$timefmt = "short";}
    var string ret;
    if ($datefmt != "none") { $ret = $ret + $this.local_time->date_format($datefmt); }
    if ($datefmt != "none" and $timefmt != "none") { $ret = $ret + " "; }
    if ($timefmt != "none") { $ret = $ret + $this.local_time->time_format($timefmt); }
    print safe """<span id="load-time">$*text_generated_on $ret</span>""";
}
