    A common place to use the timestamp is in combination with the datetime() function. This can format an input date any way you want it:

    {input|datetime( 'preset', ['arguments']}

    Arguments is optional, and only used when the preset is not defined in your datetime.ini, but when using the setting 'custom'. The function description is in the documentation here ( http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...ng_and_internationalization/datetime ) and it contains a table with all formatting options. So this:

      {let date=currentdate()|datetime(custom, '%l %d %F %Y')}
 
  Site was last updated on: {$date}
  {/let}


    is cheating :-)
