From Facebook Developer Wiki
Contents |
Description
Renders the date and time in the user's time zone. In order to show dates in a more flexible format, use Fb:date.
Attributes
| Required | Name | Type | Description | |
| required | t | int | The time to display in epoch seconds. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| optional | tz | string | The time zone in which to display t. Acceptable formats include PHP's List of Supported Timezones and +/- formats such as Etc/GMT-7. Note: Due to a bug (see below) when using a timezone in the Etc/GMT format the time is relative to the timezone. (Default value is loggedinuser's timezone.) | |
| preposition | bool | Indicates whether to automatically insert prepositions as appropriate into the time, where "at" prepends the time and "on" prepends the date if it appears. (Default value is false.) |
Examples
<fb:time t='1191648451'/>
![]() |
<fb:time t="1180502413" tz="America/New_York" />
![]() |
Notes
- The time expands as needed. If
ttook place in the same day, only hour:minutes[am|pm] appears. For more flexible date formats, please see Fb:date. - When timezone is entered in the Etc/GMT format the time is the opposite of what is expected. See [1]. The takeaway is that GMT-5 (EST) should be passed to tz as Etc/GMT+5 because of the odd convention.
