Example of parameter frm

The frm parameter enables you to display a date-time value or numeric value using a format string.

Date formats

Using the current date time

Format	Display
yyyy-mm-dd	[onshow..now;frm='yyyy-mm-dd']
dd/mm/yyyy	[onshow..now;frm='dd/mm/yyyy']
hh:nn:ss	[onshow..now;frm='hh:nn:ss']
dddd dd mmmm	[onshow..now;frm='dddd dd mmmm']
ddd dd mmm	[onshow..now;frm='ddd dd mmm']
mm-dd-yyyy hh:nn	[onshow..now;frm='mm-dd-yyyy hh:nn']

Numeric formats

Using the Php variable $amount = 1023.2568

Format	Display
$ 0,000.00	[onshow.amount;frm='$ 0,000.00']
$ 0,000. (1)	[onshow.amount;frm='$ 0,000.']
(1) The dot (.) at the bottom means there is no decimal.

Using the Php variable $rate = 0.751897

0.000 %

[onshow.rate;frm='0.000 %']

Conditional formats

Using the Php variable $amount2 = -255.4893

+0,000.00|-0,000.00|0|-	[onshow.amount2;frm='+0,000.00|-0,000.00|0|-']

Reusable formats

Formats curr1 and rate1 are defined using parameter tplfrms. [onload;tplfrms;curr1='$ 0,000.00';rate1='0.000 %']

Format	Display
curr1=$ 0,000.00	[onshow.amount;frm=curr1]
rate1=0.000 %	[onshow.rate;frm=rate1]
