[pmwiki-users] working with page variables

Hi all,
I am trying to understand how variables work, specially, when they can be used
inside a page. Thanks to Hans I managed to have my event handler using his
BlogSimple cookbook. In the modified php file now there's a EventDate
declared as
$FmtPV['$EventDate'] = 'StripName($pagename)';
And I thought of formatting it to use in pagelist . So I tried
#$FmtPV['$EventRealDate'] = 'strftime("%Y-%m-%d",$EventDate)';
but using {=$EventRealDate} in wikipages results in nothing ( maybe an empty
space... didn't check out ) .
I then tried
#$FmtPV['$EventRealDate'] = 'strftime("%Y-%m-%d",$page("EventDate"))';
just to be sure I wasn't wasting your time.
I even tried passing StripName($pagename) as the second argument of strftime,
with the same result.
Now, since StripName($pagename) ALWAYS returns a string of the form yyyymmdd
(because the first part of the page name is inserted in that form by the
system, thus holding a number ) I was wondering : how do I format it ??
In general , when is
$FmtPV['$EventDate'] = 'StripName($pagename)';
being computed and when can I use the variable in the file ?
hope this is not OT.
TIA
Marco
