Toggle Unix Epoch

[scotthardwick]

We store all of our dates generally in our databases as a Unix Epoch and it makes it nice to be able to load via WebServices the Epoch dates into Moodle for Users.

Your plugin is nice in that it adds the day of the week and the epoch.

Sometimes however, we don't want the Epoch to show up for certain fields in parenthesis.
Is it possible to toggle whether the user sees a) Human Readable and Epoch or b) Only the Human Readable?

Thanks!

It's a very good idea!

However, considering all possibilities, we have:

1. Enabling human readable and epoch or only human readable outputs should specified at sitewise in the plugin settings. Am I wrong? Are you thinking in other possibilities?
2. To show only the human readable, we already have the core profile field datetime (http://phpcrossref.com/xref/moodle/user/profile/field/). So, beforehand, it would have no sense to enable this possibility.
3. Showing both human readable and epoch dates is the current behaviour.

Thanks for your time. Keep in contact.
