I am developing an rss app and I face following problem:

• pubDate - is in a wrong time format and i need to change that format. I need to show date and time in my zone. How can be achieve this?

JavaScript, in mapping.

Hi I am a newbie to Java script

Could you supply a sample script

Many Thanks

Thanks for the info

I was looking for a sample script how to parse date format for rss , but came right

var Helpers = {
parsepubDate: function(value) {
var date = new Date(value);
var months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];

     return date.getDate() + " " + months[date.getMonth()]+ " " + date.getFullYear(); 

 } 

};

If you want to change TimeZone for any Mapping parameter you would need to add JavaScript in mapping:

codevar pubDate = new Date(value);
var offset = -9;

//Convert date to UTC
var utc = pubDate.getTime() + (pubDate.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

// create new Date object for different city
// using supplied offset
newDate = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));

// return time as a string
return newDate().toString();/code
Change offset = -9 to time zone value that you need.
