Recently needed to convert JSON to Javascript Date & Time. Not only that I needed it in a specific format (HH:MM:SS AMPM) 12HR. The answer wasn’t so clear cut and simple, but I found what worked for me:
var dateAdded = new Date(parseInt(val.DateAdded.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""), 10));
//the below 3 were other options
//var dateAdded = new Date(+val.DateAdded.replace(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//, '$1'));
//var dateAdded = new Date(parseInt((val.DateAdded.substr(6))));
//var dateAdded = eval(val.DateAdded.replace(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//gi, "new Date($1)"));
$(".spnDate", table).html(formatDate(dateAdded));
function formatDate(dateAdded) {
var actDate = new Date(dateAdded);
var m = actDate.getMonth();
var d = actDate.getDate();
var y = actDate.getFullYear();
var h = actDate.getHours();
var mm = actDate.getMinutes();
var s = actDate.getSeconds();
var ampm = h >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM';
h = h % 12;
h = h ? h : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
mm = ('0' + mm).slice(-2); // the minute '0' should be '00'
s = ('0' + s).slice(-2); // the second '0' should be '00'
return (m + 1) + "/" + d + "/" + y + " " + h + ":" + mm + ":" + s + " " + ampm;
}
Hope this helps someone else!
DNN 7.4.2 Help Icon Error/Fix
I ran into a a weird bug from a fresh install of DNN 7.4.2. The help icon wouldn’t move. After a little digging, I tracked it down to the default portal’s default.css:
/*.dnnTooltip .dnnFormHelpContent span:after,
.dnnHelperTip .dnnFormHelpContent span:after {
position: absolute;
content: "";
left: 15px;
bottom: -7px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
opacity: 0.75;
border-left: 7px solid transparent;
border-right: 7px solid transparent;
border-top: 7px solid #000;
}*/
.dnnTooltip .dnnFormHelpContent .dnnHelpText {
word-wrap: break-word;
}
.bottomArrow:after
{
position: absolute;
content: "";
left: 15px;
bottom: -7px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
opacity: 0.75;
border-left: 7px solid transparent;
border-right: 7px solid transparent;
border-top: 7px solid #000;
}
.topArrow:before {
position: absolute;
content: "";
left: 15px;
top: -7px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
opacity: 0.75;
border-left: 7px solid transparent;
border-right: 7px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 7px solid #000;
}
It seems the old tool tip css, was commented out and a new section put in. It wasn’t working for me so I just reverted things. I hope this didn’t break anything, and for now I hope it helps someone else:
.dnnTooltip .dnnFormHelpContent span:after, .dnnHelperTip .dnnFormHelpContent span:after {
position: absolute;
content: "";
left: 15px;
bottom: -7px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
opacity: 0.75;
border-left: 7px solid transparent;
border-right: 7px solid transparent;
border-top: 7px solid #000;
}
