Timestamp format in Event Detail View

[windowsrefund]

Currently, timestamps are stored in Redis and displayed as follows:

Timestamp 1357832605

Perhaps dashboard could convert it to a more user-friendly format?

Displaying an ISO8601 (UTC) formatted timestamp would be great. I've labelled this issue as a Feature.

Any progress on this?

Can you please add something like:

event.coffee initialize: -> ... @set issued: new Date(@get("issued")*1000)

client.coffee: initialize: -> @set timestamp: new Date(@get("timestamp")*1000)

so that the display is at least halfway useful? And don't use UTC unless you are totally sure that it's more useful that local date (of the client).

Patches welcome!

In theory yes, but I don't know the first thing about coffescript (apart from that I don't like the general idea that much).

I also don't know if the date is correctly displayed for other users - it is for me, but my servers are in the same TZ as my client.

So while the above fixed the issues for me, I have no idea if that's the actually correct way. But I do know that it now looks at least halfway usable for me. So please enter the two lines yourself after reviewing they are ok. I fixed it in my local installation which I probably won't update for some time, so I won't benefit anyway.

Again: if this were a normal project, I'd fork it and make a pull request but here I don't feel that qualified.

ps: the "https://github.com/set" is a github thing added into my message?

Just PR'd some changes that add formatting for timestamps in ISO8601 format. See #163.
