Nice date tricks

This is a very good enhancement to Dates. With this tip we can now do something similar to Events.

Thank you for sharing this bit of information.

Nice one!

Thanks very much... very useful post!

I want to be able to completely theme the cck date output by inserting some css classes into different elements of the date... would creating a custom formatter like this be the right way to do it?

Very nice...

Thanks for this. I see lots of great applications for this.

I, too, am interested in changing the color of the date elements. Would you mind elaborating a bit more on how this is done, using your datecustom module. That is, how and where would the classes be indicated in the module code?

Thanks again for this very useful contribution!

D5

I needed something similar to handle embed tags in a textfield as all the formatters that come with cck do some form of processing and cause small problems, but I am using D5, thought I would provide the code if anybody was wondering how to do the same in D5.

embedtag.module

<?php
 
/**
 * Implementation of hook_field_formatter_info().
 */
function embedtag_field_formatter_info() {
  return array(
    'embedded' => array(
      'label' => t('Embed Tag'),
      'field types' => array('text'),
    ),
  );
}
 
/**
 * Implementation of hook_theme().
 */
function embedtag_field_formatter($field, $item, $formatter, $node) {
  if (!isset($item['value'])) {
    return '';
  }
 
  if ($formatter == 'embedded')
    $text = $item['value'];
 
  return $text;
}

embedtag.info

name = embedtag
description = CCK formatter for embed code text
dependencies = content
package = "CCK"
