[enhancement]Date and Time

Post by SimpleSi » Sep 25th, '17, 10:52

We (as in everyone) prob wants the current time in lots of different formats

Rather than everyone writing their own routine to format the data and time, my suggestion is to add a drop down menu to allow it to report in different formats

My initial suggestions would be
current one (for compatibility so far)
plain (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS)
Human readable (DD MM YYYY HH:MM:SS) - and the strange way people in North America write the date down as well :)
Year (YYYY)
Month (MM)
Day (DD)
etc

I'm also thinking it might be good to have a second parameter for leading zeros == true/false but can live without that if we can have a plain YYYYMMDDHHMMSS returned as a string

If we can't have a menu version - can I make a request for one called say "timestamp" that would return YYYYMMDDHHMMSS please

Yes, the date/time block should be improved a bit.
