[TYPO3-ttnews] multiple date formats (separate Month/Day)

[Mario Šargač]

Self-Reply:

the #2 solution works, but the string I used doesn't work on Windows 
(grrrrr:
-------------------
Windows only: The %e modifier is not supported in the Windows 
implementation of this function. To achieve this value, the %#d modifier 
can be used instead. The example below illustrates how to write a cross 
platform compatible function.
-------------------

here's what I wanted and working:

displayLatest {
	date_stdWrap.strftime = %b
	time_stdWrap.strftime = %#d
}

Best,
Mario
