Dynamic Date Script

Steve - This is one of my gripes with variants. Sometimes when you change the size of the text in the mobile variant it can effect the text in the main variant. To prevent this, right click on the placeholder and select Variants > Stop sharing with other variants.

Actually the two *weren't* linked/shared. Egg has sussed that it was to do with the 'name being called'. By giving the mobile version a different name, it's sorted. Even my hair has begun to grow back!

No problem Steve.

I've attached another xar that displays the date as:

Thursday 1st September 2016

which I believe is more in line with the British way of displaying the date.

Cheers Egg

I was just thinking, 'if only it would display it like we do over here...'

Big thanks

(Note to self: must learn javascript!)

I haven't noticed this Gary. If you just select a word in a block of text in the mobile variant and then go:

Update (text style name) in this Variant

It applies the changes but only to the mobile variant, the Main page remains unaltered. Stop sharing will cause problems as you then need to make additions/deletions/amendments to the text separately over each variant.

Steve, I wouldn't think on loud in TG; you wish is answered.
Here's your Javascript homework to adjust my solution code: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...819#post558819.
