My time input is automatically converted to 24 hour time format---when i call it and display it, I need to change it back to am/pm. Any suggestions?

Hello! If you have time in 24 hour time format let's say in variable "time24" and it's for example "15:45" you can use the following code:

codevar tmpArr = time24.split(':'), time12;
if(+tmpArr[0] == 12) {
time12 = tmpArr[0] + ':' + tmpArr[1] + ' pm';
} else {
if(+tmpArr[0] == 00) {
time12 = '12:' + tmpArr[1] + ' am';
} else {
if(+tmpArr[0] > 12) {
time12 = (+tmpArr[0]-12) + ':' + tmpArr[1] + ' pm';
} else {
time12 = (+tmpArr[0]) + ':' + tmpArr[1] + ' am';
}
}
}/code

I tried this without luck. Should the code be triggered on the success of invoking the list service?

Hi Dan,

Add this function as custom JS:prefunction convertTime24to12(time24){
var tmpArr = time24.split(':'), time12;
if(+tmpArr[0] == 12) {
time12 = tmpArr[0] + ':' + tmpArr[1] + ' pm';
} else {
if(+tmpArr[0] == 00) {
time12 = '12:' + tmpArr[1] + ' am';
} else {
if(+tmpArr[0] 12) {
time12 = (+tmpArr[0]-12) + ':' + tmpArr[1] + ' pm';
} else {
time12 = (+tmpArr[0]) + ':' + tmpArr[1] + ' am';
}
}
}
return time12;
}/preUse this code on time value mapping:prereturn convertTime24to12(value);/pre

Thank you, this worked great!

You can get am the current time or passed date time to AM PM format through following function.

http://allinworld99.blogspot.in/2014/...

   function getval() { 
         var currentTime = new Date() 
         var hours = currentTime.getHours() 
         var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes() 

         if (minutes < 10) 
             minutes = "0" + minutes; 

         var suffix = "AM"; 
         if (hours = 12) { 
             suffix = "PM"; 
             hours = hours - 12; 
         } 
         if (hours == 0) { 
             hours = 12; 
         } 
         var current_time = hours + ":" + minutes + " " + suffix; 
         show_message("Current Your System Time is : " + current_time); 
     }

Just to add, if you are planning on showing dates/time throughout your app, it might be worth adding a library to handle it for you. In my app I use Moment.js.

you can try this free online js beautifier to format the javsscript code.

Thank you, this worked great!

Working.
