Varying the format of a dateTime field inside a Visualforce page is quite straightforward. It involves wrapping the field in a mask and then passing the data as a parameter, like so:
Page:
<apex:outputText value="{0,date,{!dateFormat}}"> <apex:param value="{!myDateTime}" /> </apex:outputText>
In order to illustrate how this works, I have constructed a page and controller with a few samples. Below is a screenshot of the page displaying a single date (31st December 2010, 23:59:59) in various different formats. The first column of the table shows the string used as the date format mask, whilst the second column shows how that date appears when the mask is applied to the date.
Controller:
public class DateFormattingController { Datetime myDateTime = datetime.newInstance(2010, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59); List<String> dateFormats = new List<String> { 'dd.MM.yy HH:mm:ss', 'MMM-dd-yyyy hh:mm a', 'EEEEE dd MMMMM yyyy G', 'E hh:mm:ss:SSS z', 'zzzzz (Z), \'Day of the year:\' D' }; public DateTime getMyDateTime(){ return myDateTime; } public List<String> getDateFormats(){ return dateFormats; } }
Page:
<apex:page controller="DateFormattingController"> <apex:sectionHeader title="Date Formatting"/> <apex:outputText value="Standard Output Format: {!myDateTime}"/> <apex:pageBlock > <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!dateFormats}" var="dateFormat"> <apex:column headerValue="Date Format" value="{!dateFormat}" width="50%"/> <apex:column headerValue="Output" width="50%"> <apex:outputText value="{0,date,{!dateFormat}}"> <apex:param value="{!myDateTime}" /> </apex:outputText> </apex:column> </apex:pageBlockTable> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:page>
See Paul's Salesforce Blog for the full date format letter table. Any missing formats or unsure how to construct a particular format, leave me a comment on the post and I'll see what I can do!
