date column filter in media list table

[gonahkar]

please add a filter for date column in media list table, like posts list table.

in wp-admin\includes\class-wp-media-list-table.php @ line:288
replace:

<td <?php echo $attributes ?>><?php echo $h_time ?></td>

with:

<td <?php echo $attributes ?>><?php echo apply_filters( 'media_date_column_time', $h_time); ?></td>

What is an example of the purpose of this filter?

Replying to dd32:

What is an example of the purpose of this filter?

We use ​Iranian calendar in wordpress and need date filters.

marking as a possibility for 3.2, We'd really have to review a lot of area's to make sure that the date can fit in all the possible spots, not just this particular spot.

As opposed to a date filter, couldn't this be passed into one of the internationalization date functions along the lines of date_i18n?

I am not sure this needs such a custom filter in such a specific place.

By now the output of WP_Media_List_Table->column_date() is pretty elaborate and switches conditionally between relative and absolute output.

If there are some very specific output needs for this (that cannot be handled on WP localisation level) it is likely that they are better addressed by adding a custom column altogether.
