Tag <#time> not working

From time to time the PC on which Cumulus works stops bij lack of power.
I want to warn vistors for outdated data.
Can anyone help?
I tried:

<script>
var DateTimeNow
var DateTimeUpdate
var DateDif
var Message
var Tmp
</script>
<body style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: #838383;">

<form name="myform4">
 
<input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= <#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn"> 
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
Tmp = document.myform4.formvar.value;
</script>
<script>
// get Cumulus date of update
alert ("begin"); //check
DateTimeNow = Number(new Date());
alert ("Nu: " + DateTimeNow); //check
DateTimeUpdate = Number(new Date(Tmp));
alert ("Update: " + DateTimeUpdate); //check
DateDif = DateTimeNow - DateTimeUpdate;
alert("Dif: " + DateDif); //check
// Warning. 300000 is 5 mins
if (DateDif > 300000) {
Message = "STORING WEERSTATION\n\nGeen updates ontvangen.\nRapport verouderd, waarnemingen kloppen niet.";
alert(Message);
}
</script>
etc, etc

Elsewhere, the tag works fine:
<caption>Observarions at <#time format="d mmmm yyyy hh:nn"> LT<br>
<b>Caution! </b> Not older than 5 minutes, otherwise failure.
</caption>

Try ....

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= '<#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn">'

Your javascript var isn't "quoted"

And the <input> tag isn't terminated is it?

Thank you very much.
I made a stupid mistake.
I tested next alternatives:
1) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value="2017-06-16 12:05">
2) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= '<#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn">' failed
3) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= '<#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn">'> failed
4) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= <#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn">> failed
5) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= <#time format='yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn'>> failed
6) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= '<#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn">'> failed
7) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= “<#time format="yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn">”> failed
8) <input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= “<#time format='yyyy-mmmm-d hh:nn'>”> failed
Only 1) was Ok. But that's not the one I need.
In http://www.meteo-wieringermeer.nl/realtime.txt, the firt 17 characters show upload date and time.
I did not succeed in writing the proper javascript function to get them.

Before we start escaping quotes and things - it would be useful if you had a test page link so that we could see what the Cumulus formated date looks like in the input string.

Doesn't have to be a page that 'runs' - just the code after Cumulus has processed it.

I am a little confused, did you want the month as a number or as a word?
If you want the number, maybe you could try '<#update>' as I believe that may output in the ISO date time format you want. It may give a slightly different time because it does not reflect the real-time in the file you quote, but surely it would address

The code you could try with month as number is

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="formvar" value="<#update>">

If you want month as word and the space, you could eliminate one set of quotes with

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="formvar" value= '<#time format=yyyy-mmmm-d> <#time format=hh:nn>'>

EDITs - I missed a closing bracket on Cumulus web tag!
BTW - The first post in the thread contains at the start a URL to the page where this is being used!

Thank you all for your help.
This proved to be the solution:
<input type="hidden" name="formDate" value= '<#time format="yyyy-m-d hh:nn">'>
