I need to be able to format dates in journal entries (such as $reserved-article-display-date) but velocity's DateTool isn't available. I don't know much about velocity. Anyone know offhand how I can do this easily?

Thanks,

Scott

Yes, I did.
$dateTool.format( 'full','short', $dateTool.toDate( "EEE, dd MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss Z" , $reserved-article-display-date.getData()) , $localeUtil.fromLanguageId( $request.locale ) )

Thank you so much.
is it possible to use just

1$locale

instead of

1$localeUtil.fromLanguageId( $request.locale )

?
It's working but I don't know if it is correct.

If you want to display date in another format you can use this:

1$dateTool.format("dd. MM. yyyy / hh.mm:ss",
2 $dateTool.toDate("EEE, dd MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss Z",
3 $reserved-article-modified-date.getData()), $locale)

(for more info see [url=http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.3/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/DateTool.html#format(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.Object,%20java.util.Locale,%20java.util.TimeZone)]DateTool Velocity Documentation)

Yes, you can use DateTool

http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/DateTool.html

For example to get the actual year:

1$dateTool.get('yyyy')

dateTool.toDate() doesn't work for me (Liferay 6.0.6CE - maybe solved in 6.1) when applied to $reserved-article-modified-date.

This things however works fine (using Liferay parsing library instead of velocity's one):

#set ($portalBeanLocator = $portal.getClass().forName('com.liferay.portal.kernel.bean.PortalBeanLocatorUtil'))
#set ($dateFormatFactory = $portalBeanLocator.locate('com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.DateFormatFactoryUtil'))
#set ($indexFormat = $dateFormatFactory.getSimpleDateFormat('EEE, dd MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss Z'))
#set ($modified_date = $indexFormat.parse($reserved-article-modified-date.getData()))
$dateTool.format("dd MMM yyyy 'à' HH:mm:ss",$modified_date)

It converts "Thu, 14 Jul 2011 14:47:32 +0000" into "14 juil. 2011 à 14:47:32" (french).
