[Mediawiki-l] Changing the signature timestamp-format?

11 Jul 2007


      Hi all,
I'm still looking for a way to change the timestamp-format that comes the the 
signature-button in the edit-window.
At the Moment, when I use the button "Ihre Signatur mit Zeitstempel" to
sign a text with adding a timestamp, the stamp has the following format:
09:57, 3. Jul. 2007 (CEST)
I'd like to change the timestamp-Format (and/or the DefaultDateFormat)
so that the timestamp looks like this:
03.06.2007, 09:57
After some searching I found the place where the signature is put together 
according to the number of ~ used.
I've followed through the generation of the timestamp, but found my php is 
definitly not fluent enough to even try to hack the code in order to get what I 
want. :(
Also the note in parser.php sort of discourages me even further...
How can I change timestamp-format of the signature? Can any of you help me with 
this?
To ease the way for those of you with more php-knowledge I've added those parts 
of the code that is used in formatting the timestamp.
The generation of the signature and timestamp starts in includes/parser.php
...
/**

Pre-save transform helper function
@private

*/
function pstPass2( $text, &$stripState, $user ) {
   global $wgContLang, $wgLocaltimezone;
   /* Note: This is the timestamp saved as hardcoded wikitext to
    * the database, we use $wgContLang here in order to give
    * everyone the same signature and use the default one rather
    * than the one selected in each user's preferences.
    */
   if ( isset( $wgLocaltimezone ) ) {
   	$oldtz = getenv( 'TZ' );
   	putenv( 'TZ='.$wgLocaltimezone );
   }
   $d = $wgContLang->timeanddate( date( 'YmdHis' ), false, false) .
     ' (' . date( 'T' ) . ')';
   if ( isset( $wgLocaltimezone ) ) {
   	putenv( 'TZ='.$oldtz );
   }
   # Variable replacement
   # Because mOutputType is OT_WIKI, this will only process {{subst:xxx}} type tags
   $text = $this->replaceVariables( $text );
   # Strip out <nowiki> etc. added via replaceVariables
   $text = $this->strip( $text, $stripState, false, array( 'gallery' ) );
   # Signatures
   $sigText = $this->getUserSig( $user );
   $text = strtr( $text, array(
   	'~~~~~' => $d,
   	'~~~~' => "$sigText $d",
   	'~~~' => $sigText
   ) );
It continues in languages/language.php
...
/**

@public
@param mixed  $ts the time format which needs to be turned into a
          date('YmdHis') format with wfTimestamp(TS_MW,$ts)


@param bool   $adj whether to adjust the time output according to the
          user configured offset ($timecorrection)


@param mixed  $format what format to return, if it's false output the
          default one (default true)


@param string $timecorrection the time offset as returned by
          validateTimeZone() in Special:Preferences


@return string

*/
function timeanddate( $ts, $adj = false, $format = true, $timecorrection = false) {
   $this->load();
   $ts = wfTimestamp( TS_MW, $ts );
   if ( $adj ) { 
   	$ts = $this->userAdjust( $ts, $timecorrection ); 
   }
   $pref = $this->dateFormat( $format );
   if( $pref == 'default' || !isset( $this->dateFormats["$pref both"] ) ) {
   	$pref = $this->defaultDateFormat;
   }
And finally the formatting of the timestamp is done in includes/GlobalFunctions.php
...
/**

@param mixed $outputtype A timestamp in one of the supported formats, the
                     function will autodetect which format is supplied


                     and act accordingly.


@return string Time in the format specified in $outputtype

*/
function wfTimestamp($outputtype=TS_UNIX,$ts=0) {
   $uts = 0;
   $da = array();
   if ($ts==0) {
   	$uts=time();
   } elseif (preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d) (\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)$/D',$ts,$da)) {

   	# TS_ORACLE
   	$uts = strtotime(preg_replace('/(\d\d).(\d\d).(\d\d)(.(\d+))?/', "$1:$2:$3",
   			str_replace("+00:00", "UTC", $ts)));

   		(int)$da[2],(int)$da[3],(int)$da[1]);
   } elseif (preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d) (\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)[+- ](\d\d)$/',$ts,$da)) {
   	# TS_POSTGRES
   	$uts=gmmktime((int)$da[4],(int)$da[5],(int)$da[6],
   	(int)$da[2],(int)$da[3],(int)$da[1]);
   } elseif (preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d) (\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d) GMT$/',$ts,$da)) {
   	# TS_POSTGRES
   	$uts=gmmktime((int)$da[4],(int)$da[5],(int)$da[6],
   	(int)$da[2],(int)$da[3],(int)$da[1]);
   } else {
   	# Bogus value; fall back to the epoch...
   	wfDebug("wfTimestamp() fed bogus time value: $outputtype; $ts\n");
   	$uts = 0;
   }
