Day of week name off by a day

[__n]

Hi there, first time posting so tell me if I got it in the wrong section or anything.

I've got a timestamp variable that's formatted YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00+00:00 (The last bit is THH:MM:SS+OFFSET but it's always zeroed out). I send this to a measure which formats the date and sends it to the string meter like so:

inc file:

Code: Select all

Task1Due=2017-05-05T00:00:00+00:00

skin.ini:

Code: Select all

[Task1DueStamp]
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=#Task1Due#
TimeStampFormat=%y-%m-%d
Format=%a %e %b

[Task1Due]
Meter=String
Text=[Task1DueStamp]
StringAlign=Center
ClipString=2
ClipStringW=30
FontFace=Tahoma
FontSize=11
X=25
Y=-58R
AntiAlias=1
Group=Task1

But the name of the weekday seems to be forward by a day:


I don't see why this would be the case, and if there isn't a solution I can just parse the date in lua.
Thanks in advance.

In the TimestampFormat you have to use an uppercase letter "Y" (year with century) instead of the lower-case "y" (year without century) because your variable contains the century

Hah, such a small mistake. Thanks, it works perfectly now.
