It would be really handy if there were a display of the TWiki's idea of current time somewhere in the "topic locked" template. I haven't seen anything like a %GMTIME% variable (which doesn't mean that it's not already there) but it couldn't be too difficult to add (and then to add to the template.) I always screw up the conversion back to zulu; I don't bump into other people's edits often enough to just remember what it is :-) -- KevinKinnell - 26 May 2000
OK, I added %GMTIME% to alpha, is now in the cvs repository. Somewhat related, I changed the lock warning page to show the remaining lock time in minutes. Here is a fake lock warning that shows that: http://TWiki.SourceForge.net/cgi-bin/oops/Codev/GMTimeVariable?template=oopslocked¶m1=Main.TestTest¶m2=60¶m3=14

The format of
Variables can be shortened to 3 characters. Example:

The format of %GMTIME{"format"}% and %SERVERTIME{"format"}% has changed because it was not very flexible. The new {"format"} is:
| Variable: | Unit: | Example |
|---|---|---|
| $seconds | seconds | 59 |
| $minutes | minutes | 59 |
| $hours | hours | 23 |
| $day | day of month | 31 |
| $month | month in ISO format | Dec |
| $mo | 2 digit month | 12 |
| $year | 4 digit year | 1999 |
| $ye | 2 digit year | 99 |
%GMTIME{"$day $month, $year - $hour:$min:$sec"}% is 03 Jan, 2026 - 20:48:08
So, for example, {"hour:min"} changed {"$hour:$min"}. Please change your topics that use %GMTIME{"format"}% or %SERVERTIME{"format"}% when you upgrade TWiki.

Commited to TWikiAlphaRelease, and made a TWikiBetaRelease.
