I have recently switched from the old Cumulus to CumulusMX and have everything working fine, but there is one anomaly that I have not been able to solve thus far and wonder if anyone could advise me how to correct it?
On the main Index page the Last Rainfall field #LastRainTipISO is displayed in the format of yyyy-mm-dd time, whereas ALL other fields of a similar nature on other pages (e.g. Highest Rain Rate #TrrateM on the Records page) correctly displays in the right UK format for me of time dd-mm-yyyy
How do I correct this format issue please?
Thanks in advance

Re: Last Rainfall date format problem
<#LastRaintipISO> always displays the date/time in ISO format (the clue is in the name). I added the <#LastRainTip> tag to version 3.6.1 to which you can add a format string if you wish, otherwise it will use the default formatting.

Ok, thanks Mark.
I’m not too familiar with html format commands, but I’ll have a read up and try a few things!

Re: Last Rainfall date format problem
Mark was talking about Cumulus Output formatting codes, nothing to do with HTML.
How about starting your reading at https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Webtags#Outpu ... _and_dates
