    Outputting custom date/time with umbraco:item field?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to ouput a custom formatDateTime with the umbraco:item field.

    Currently I have a field that stores a date for an event called startDate and I would like to display it out as
    10.08.09 15:30

    But using the attribute formatAsDateWithTime and formatAsDateWithTimeSeperator outputs it as 10th August 2009 15:30

    <umbraco:Item field="startDate" formatAsDateWithTime="true" formatAsDateWithTimeSeparator=" " runat="server"/>

    So is there a solution to this?

    Inline XSLT - Heard this can be resource intensive at times :S
    CodeBehind on masterpage?
    XSLT?
    Or other ...?

    What do you recommend?

    Thanks,
    Warren

    Use inline xslt and the umbraco.library (or exslt) extension. Double-check performance with the ?umbDebugshowTrace=true querystring, but I've not seen a performance issue with simple inline xslt. For more complex xslt I make a macro, and they don't have performance issues.

    cheers,
    doug.

    OK maybe i misheard then and more powerful inline XSLT is a performance hog. Looks like I may do it as inline XSLT to begin with unless anyone else has any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Warren :)

    Try this:

    <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="createDate" xslt="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime({0},'dd.MM.yy hh:mm')" />

    Cheers,

    Peter
