wishpot Date/Time format for last edited time 2 Nov 18 2008, 9:24 PM EST by wishpot

Is there a way to adjust the date format that comes back for the "last edited time" on a per-call basis? Our users (viewers) are going to be in different time zones.

In addition, is there a way we can force it to return the date without the time? That would at least be cache-able (unlike phrases such as "5 minutes ago") .

Thanks!
