#13771 new enhancement

get_the_date() to accept optional $post argument

Reported by: bigdawggi Owned by:

Component: General Version: 3.0

Description

Currently the get_the_date() function only utilizes the global $post. Allowing this function to accept an optional $post object as an argument would be beneficial for getting the formatted date of any post.

  • Milestone changed from 3.0 to 3.1

We typically call get_post() and let it figure out whether to use the global.

No more enhancements for 3.0. Moving to 3.1.

Thanks Ryan. I agree, I was just trying to trim the extra function calls; but after review it may not be worth the investment in time to set a precedent of allowing an optional $post arg in template tags, though I'll let you guys decide ;)
