Display month name in WPS?

[RowaN]

With the recent changes to RTC stuff in Rockbox, I'm trying to sync my WPS, but having problems with month (and day). It returns a number now instead of the name (e.g. 1 instead of January). From what I could gain from reading the WPS wiki page on conditionals, I tried:

%?cm(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December)

[I have replaced the V-shaped brackets with normal brackets in the above line because this forum was not displaying them properly.]

..but that doesnt seem to work. I also looked through many pages of existing WPS but couldnt find any that show the month name. Can someone shed some light on this for me please?

Is it necessari for you that the monthname is comlete shown like "January"?
If not you could use:

Code: [Select]

%cb - abbreviated month name (Jan..Dec)

It returns a number now instead of the name (e.g. 1 instead of January)

It returns "01" for January.

Yes, I am trying to display the month name, not an abbriviation. Is it possible? Why is my conditional tag not working?

[ColdSphinx]

It's an bug caused by the formating. 01,02,03,04,..,10,11,12

Thanks for info. I've added it as a bug here:

The fact that your conditional doesn't work isn't caused by the leading zero. It's because the RTC tags aren't currently meant to be used as conditionals. It's not hard to fix but I'm not sure it's worth the added code size.

Setting intval in a couple of places shouldn't add much code...

[NicolasP]

Done.

My example code still doesnt work, even after your commit. Can you give some example code that works please?

[elborak]

Nicolas already updated the wiki to include examples. Do those not work?

[RowaN]

The example in the wiki (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS) is the same as my example above, which does not work.

What SVN revision are you using? The actual number please.

Sorry, it does work on real hardware, just tested with todays build.  

I was testing on a recent sim build with rockbox r13390-070515.
