I want to mention the ticket creation date in an auto reply. I use the
following code snippet in my email template: {$Ticket->Created}. This
produces the string “2014-10-08 15:31:24” (UTC) but I want to show “October
8, 2014 at 5:31 PM” (CET) is one place and “8 oktober 2014 om 17:31” in
another place. (The word “oktober” in the second string is Dutch.) How can
I format the timestamps?
On a procedural note: I’m not sure if this question conforms to
requirements of this mailing list. I have searched the history of this list
since I joined for an answer, but don’t know where to find the rest of the
history. Also I know very little about Perl. I’m slightly worried that my
question is too “dumb”. But I have many more of these newbie questions. Can
I just ask them here? (I.e. if I don’t find the answer in the mailing list
history, the documentation on bestpractical.com or on the the wiki.)

Thanks. I’m afraid I still don’t understand what to do however. I looked at
the links but the two threads don’t really apply to my situation and the
RT::Date documentation is too general for me to be able to translate it
into a solution, with my limited knowledge of Perl. It clearly has
something to do with “Output formatters” but I don’t understand how to use
them.
If it’s not too much to ask, then what would really help me is to see some
code that could replace {$Ticket->Created} to yield the output I need.

Does anyone know how to format the date/time that {$Ticket->Created}
returns in my email template? I want it to read “Wednesday October 8, 2014
at 5:31 PM (CET)” or “Woensdag 8 oktober 2014 om 17:31 (CET)”. (Second
version is Dutch.)

Use $Ticket->CreatedObj instead of $Ticket->Created, this will give you
an RT::Date object. Then look at lib/RT/Date.pm there is many formatting
methods. If none suit your needs, you can “easily” write new one in
local/lib/RT/Date_Local.pm

OK, great. Problem is that my Perl knowledge is too small to fully
understand the documentation on RT::Date or how to use the formatters
it mentions. Could anyone give an example?
