Description

Hi,

I just upgraded an Extbase extensions I developed for TYPO3 4.3 and came across a bug in the format.date ViewHelper. My dates are not displayed anymore as the conversion from unix timestamp to DateTime object is invalid (constructor expects a string representation, not a timestamp).

Enclosed is a patch that solves this issue.

Hi Xavier,

as you have seen, the format.date ViewHelper internally passes the date argument to the DateTime constructor.
The DateTime constructor accepts Unix timestamps too, but according to
According to http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php -> Compound Formats they have to be prefixed with "@".
