Hi Zbych,

If I remember correctly, the date formatting and possibly other things are affected by the call to SetLanguage() for each request separately based on the __lang__ session variable. So that explains why you need to call SetDateScan() if you need some specific setting... Regarding the formatting for output, I prefer to use FormatDate with specific formatting string, it saves me from this problems.

The second problem has a simple reason: The operator() of Http does not replace the content of variable if it exists, it adds another variable of the same name. Only the first one is however used in the template. Perhaps it should use GetAdd() instead of simple Add() in this...

BTW: Try adding $set() to your template, it helps a lot with debugging situations like this.

Best regards,
Honza

PS: I think the proper format for web apps is that which is simplest to use Smile

In some cases a timestamp, in other cases YYYY-MM-DD or anything else that is simple to work with and that suits the clients side needs...
