Dirk Frederickx commented on JSPWIKI-460:
-----------------------------------------


Let's reuse the standard variable syntax to set the format of the timestamp, 
iso defining a new syntax.
I would also not use CamelCase but plain lowercase, like the other predefined 
jspwiki variables.


[{SET timestamp='yyyyMMdd' }]


Like Andrew suggests, most of the time this would not be needed, as the default 
format should be based on the user-prefs.

> Hi,
> i would like to add a current time stamp to the wikivariables to use it in 
> different plugins (f.e Formhandler).
> Input:
> Call with [{$identifier=time format}]
> f.e. [{$timestamp=yyyyMMdd}]
> Output:
> 20081219
> Explanation:
> 1. "timestamp" as identifier for the variable
> 2. after the "=" come the "time format". (Examples: yy-MM-dd hh:mm, 
> yyyy.MM.dd)
> Exception: if the "time format" is null or wrong, a message appears.
> The changes would be made in the VariablesManager.java. I have the code ready 
> and tested.
> Question: How can I achieve Commitrights?
