like we have readymade token available to show Current Date in DNN.
Is there anything bydefault or any token thru which we can show current time also?
or any way to show time on the home page at top?

Yes, both the skin object and the token display date and time, based on the format given to them. For the skin object in an ascx file:

< dnn:CURRENTDATE runat="server" id="dnnCURRENTDATE" DateFormat="dd MMMM yyyy" / >

Change the format to another standard string to display the date.

For the token, use [DateTime:Now|"format"] .

Thanks joe for such a prompt reply.. thats easy.. Can i include EST reference with that?

i added time to show on header by writing
in skin and
in xml file:
 
in case if anybody need it..
still searching to have EST reference in time fotmat...

I don't believe that you need two instances to show date and time.  They can be shown with one instance, given the right formatting string.

Format strings are discussed here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...S.71).aspx

It probably is a lot easier to experiment with formatting strings by using a replaceable token in a text/HTML module.

thanx joe for your kind reply.
I tried giving the format as specified in previuos post.. but I didnt see any date time instead it prints simple text whatever i give as format.. I am using dnn 5.0

If you are doing this in a Text/HTML module, you will need to go to the module settings and enable token replacement.

I have stated the token in .html skin file... and defined the format in .xml token file.

I got the time on the top of my page; however, in my surprise - I changed the time zone to UTC Estern Time Zone - but still its not showing corret date..

To test, add a Text/HTML module to your site and use the token to display date and time.  Is the date/time that is displayed recognizable?  That is, is the offset from GMT something that is not correct?

Make sure that the server's time is correct.  Then make sure that the site and user's time zones are set appropriately.

How do I combine CURRENTDATE with SOLPARTMENU?  I want them on the same line?

You will need to edit your skin to do that.

How?

We have a nice collection of tutorials on skin development here.  Start with:

• Skin Design Considerations
• Setup Preparations for Skinning
• Introduction to Skinning
• How to create a skin (using tables)

We (my colleague and I) have a purchased a membership with you.  Those videos do not show, specifically, how to combine those two attributes.

Those are two "skin objects" and they can be placed anywhere you like on the page.

But ... before you get in too deep, you should be using the DNN Nav Menu.  It is [NAV] in html skins.  [NAV] is current and up to date, whereas SOLPART is old and not supported.

But ... all of that aside, if you want the date to be shown just to the left of the menu, for example ...

[CURRENTDATE] [NAV]

will work.

You will probably want a bit more structure.

Look at how these objects are used in existing skins.  The Minimal Extropy skin is worthy of study ...
