Code Templates - Date formatting [message #255268]

Hi

The code templates offer both a ${year} and a ${date} token. I am
missing either a ${month} and ${day} token or a possibility to pass
along a format string like "YYYYMMDD" to ${date}.

The result I am looking for:

// FIXME ${year}${month}${day} ${username}: ${comment}

// FIXME 20080502 johnsmith: bla bla bla

However, as ${date} is formatted using the default format of the Locale,
I get:

// FIXME May 2, 2008 johnsmith: bla bla bla

Any hints or ideas?

Hello

Thanks for the hint.

In the meantime I found a Bugzilla issue that deals with exactly
my issue:
