Javascript "The date is...." Integration Problem

[Alistair]

I need your help!

 

I have managed to integrate every aspect of my template except one part.

 

I have a simple "The date today is..." sentence of text on my header.tpl

 

The code, as in the index.html file, reads as:

 

                        <li>The date today is <script language="JavaScript">
<!-- 
function getCorrectedYear(year) {
year = year - 0;
if (year < 70) return (2000 + year);
if (year < 1900) return (1900 + year);
return year;
}

var lmod = new Date();
var monthname;
var lmonth = lmod.getMonth();
if (lmonth == 0) monthname = "January";
if (lmonth == 1) monthname = "February";
if (lmonth == 2) monthname = "March";
if (lmonth == 3) monthname = "April";
if (lmonth == 4) monthname = "May";
if (lmonth == 5) monthname = "June";
if (lmonth == 6) monthname = "July";
if (lmonth == 7) monthname = "August";
if (lmonth ==  monthname = "September";
if (lmonth == 9) monthname = "October";
if (lmonth == 10) monthname = "November";
if (lmonth == 11) monthname = "December";

var yearstr = getCorrectedYear(lmod.getYear());

var outstr = lmod.getDate() + " " + monthname + " " + yearstr;
document.write(outstr);
// -->
</script></li>

 

However, whenever I add the above code to my header.tpl and upload it, any page of my WHMCS just doesn't load and remains as a white page. When I remove this code, however, the site loads correctly.

 

Can someone help me and tell me how I can get the date code to work on WHMCS?!

 

Thanks!

By the way, I also tried putting this into my header.tpl :

 

The date today is <script type=text/javascript src="js/date.js"></script></li>                        

 

and I put the code from the above post into the file date.js .

 

This did not work either - I just don't know what I am doing...

Can anyone help?

In any of your tpl files you can simply use {$todaysdate} to get the current date

Thank you!

 

However, do you know how I can use this on my index page etc?

I want the date to display in the same format - currently the WHMCS pages display it differently to the other pages.

 

How can I use this code on my non-WHMCS pages? I put it into my terms page and renamed it terms.php but it does not display how it does on WHMCS pages. It just says {$todaysdate} instead of the date!

 

Any ideas how I can get the same format of date on the other pages, such as my index, terms, privacy pages etc?

Hi Sparky, how can I get that {$todaysdate} output to be in Spanish ?

 

Thanks !

Wrap your javascript code in {literal} and {/literal} tags.. That will fix the problem.

[cyberneticos]

That is not the solution.

That is not the solution.

 

I was talking to the OP about his issue.

[cyberneticos]

That's what they invented quotes for

[sparky]

The smarty tag is generated from the php comand date('l, jS F Y');

In the php manual for date

To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date().

 

Hope that helps

sure did thanks !
