  could allowing an assign from this function be added to the core build? I end up writing a secondary plugin to do this alot of time. Unless there is already a better work around?

  Not quite sure what you mean - could you elaborate a little...

  certainly. Currently this pnrender plugin doesn't support returning the datetime back to an assign variable it returns back for display only. Manytimes I need a timestamp back for a query or display etc having the option to put it into a variable gives more flexibility in what can be done with it. All that needs to be done is a. The following changes would give this flexibility.
  
  

  Code

  function smarty_function_datetime($params, &$smarty)
  {
      extract($params);
      unset($params);
     
      // set some defaults
      if (!isset($format)) {
          $format = '_DATETIMEBRIEF';
      }
      if (strpos($format, '%') !== false) { // allow the use of conversion specifiers
          $mytime = ml_ftime($format, (GetUserTime(time())));
      } else {
          $mytime = ml_ftime(constant($format), (GetUserTime(time())));
      }
      if (isset($assign)) {
          $smarty->assign($assign, $mytime);
      } else {
          return $mytime;        
      }  
  }

  
  
  Found $smarty.now can be used to get the timestamp that I am looking for and can be passed to an assign so this accomplishes what I am looking for. The added functionality would still be nice though.
