Formatting media.datetime

[nelsonov]

In the documentation for themes, you mention formatting datetime like this:
{% if media.exif.datetime %}
{{ media.exif.datetime.strftime('%A, %d. %B %Y') }}
{% endif %}

However, media.exif.datetime does not appear to be a Python datetime object. When I attempt this in the colorbox index.html, I get the following error
File "/media/cams/themes/colorbox/templates/index.html", line 44, in template
data-date=", {{ media.exif.datetime.strftime('%c') }}"
jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'unicode object' has no attribute 'strftime'

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

The documentation is wrong (sorry!), datetime is indeed a formatted string (with strftime('%A, %d. %B %Y')), but there is also a dateobj key with the Python datetime object:

Can you check if it works for you ? (And if you want to fix it, you're welcome 😉 )
