Format date in the indexSuccess.php

Question

I want to format the created_at field date from the original for something like 03.May.2011 to be shown in the indexSuccess.php and in the sh

Answer 1

The format of some data absolutely not belongs into controller context - so please use

use_helper("date");
echo format_date($myDate);

from symfony's date helper in your template (showSuccess.php, blaSuccess.php) or partial (form.php, list.php, test.php) !
