Modify dummy task with timeout

myr

I'm trying to modify one of my teamsite workflows to deploy files based on the "date" and "time" variables that a content editor enters in the workflow. Currently I have it working when the user enters the number of days until deployment and this variable is passed as a timeout to a dummy task before deployment. (see below) What's the best way to modify the $timeout to accept two variables based on date/time? Thanks.

# Set some variables for later use

my($timeout) = sprintf ("+%04d00", (24 * __VALUE__('delay')));

..........................

TAG_info(

delay =>
[ html => "<textarea rows='5' cols='40'></textarea>",
label => "# of days to deployment",
valid_input => '/^\d*$/',
error_msg => 'Please enter a number of days to deployment',
],

You might want to look at Date::Manip - and allow users to enter in date and time information in a fairly free-form manner and then translate it into the +HHHHMM or MMDDYYYYHHMM format.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up using another approach:

# Set some variables for later use

my $timeout = __VALUE__('duedate'); #changed timeout to equal due date value

$timeout =~ s|/||g; #regex removes the forward slash between month/day/year
$timeout = $timeout."0859"; #regex adds time to the end of the string - 8:59 am

TAG_info(

duedate =>
[ html => "<input type='text' value='MM/DD/YYYY'>\n",
label => "date of deployment",
error_msg => 'Please enter a date for deployment',

Hi,

Thank You.

As Adam said, have your users enter date and/or time in whatever format you think is most user friendly. Then behind the scenes translate the timeout value to either the +HHHHMM or MMDDYYYYHHMM format for the timeout.
