How can I format it so that it will just be diaplyed as ''dd/mm/yyyy'' format? Thanks -- Posted via

I'm trying to declare a few date-related global variables to ease my dialplan. When I declare the following in the [globals] context of extensions.conf, I get unexpected results: YEAR = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y)} MONTH = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m)} DAY = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%d)} TIMESTAMP = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)} If I evaluate these variables in the dialplan later, using exten

Search doesn''t seem to be working, so forgive me if I''m covering old ground here, but I''m having a difficult time figuring out how to implement a "SUM()" function using Active record.

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable.
