Description Gregg Casillo 2008-10-21 04:25:24 UTC

I am running into an annoying blooper where I cannot pass a date from a database (e.g. 2008-10-21 00:23:00) into Template's date.format() function, because it requires it to be in the format (h:m:s d/m/y). This adds a needless step to format the date...before it gets formatted! Dumb.

Fortunately, version 2.20 is patched to allow dates from databases that follow the traditional yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format. The way it should be and a real time saver if I can get it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use Template::Plugin::Date in my web site code
2. attempt to pass a date from a database into the date.format() function
3. fails with "bad time/date string:  expects 'h:m:s d:m:y'" error
