Kaosweaver Date Insertion Instructions - Downloadable from AddonFP - FrontPage Addons

Element

 An element is part of the date output broken down into types of date parts. The list is as detailed:

  • Day of Week - Full: This is Sunday, Monday, etc as per the language selected.
  • Day of Week - Short: For languages with short names, this would be Sun, Mon, Tue, etc.
  • Month - Number: This would be 1 for January to 12 for December.
  • Month - 2 Digit Number: This would be 01 for January and 12 for December, all single digit months have a leading 0 in front of them.
  • Month - Full: This is the full name of the month, January to December.
  • Month - Short: This is the short name for languages with short names, Jan to Dec.
  • Date: This is the date of the day. In January 12, 2003 this is the 12.
  • Date - 2 Digit: Same as date, however, if the date is single digit a leading 0 will be added.
  • Year - Full: This is the year, expressed in four digits.
  • Year - Short: This is the year, expressed in the last two digits.

You do not have to have all elements populated. Leave 'None' selected for those you do not need.

Delimiter

These go between the elements above, you have to include even the spaces that you want. The last delimiter goes behind the entire date. For instance, in this date: 'Jan. 10, 2002.' the delimiters are: '. ' for the first, ', ' for the second and '.' for the third. You do not have to have all of the delimiters populated. Leave them as blank if you do not need them.

Language

Set the language as per what you want the language to display as.

How Date Insertion works

This add-in puts a script on the page which will get the date from the browser and display the output in the order needed on the page. Putting more than one on the page will cause a problem, so don't do it. The date will be displayed according to your selections of the elements, delimiters and the language. You can arrange the elements however you like, however, putting the same one more than once will be confusing to the browser and should be avoided. It won't be visible on the page and can be previewed to see it working. If you want to alter the color or font, surround the script with a font selection or a CSS selection.
