Date formats
Standard formats
There are two outputs for each type of date data, for example d_start_date and d_start_date_display both show a specific departure's start date.
d_start_date returns dates in the format
YYYY-MM-DD
For a date & time output such as d_main_offer_datetime this would return in the format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
d_start_date_display returns dates like 1 Jul 2004 that are slightly more human readable.
Custom formats
In addition to the two standard formats, custom formats are possible
For example <$TourCMSdeparture d_id="32" output="d_main_offer_datetime" format="2822"$> would return the date & time in RFC 2822 format.
The following formats can be used:
| Format | Note | Examples |
| 2822 | RFC 2822 | Thu, 3 Jun 2004 Thu, 3 Jun 2004 11:23:19 +0100 |
| 8601 | ISO 8601 | YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS |
