I have been modding an asp news page to link to a forum thread for each news post (a comment system). So far, everything has gone well, but I can't figure out how Snitz calls the date/time from a server so that it is stored in the database in a string format. I know the command that it uses to change the format back and forth, but I need to insert the raw data for my news posting script.
I usually use commands like <%=Year(Date)%>0<%=Month(Date)&Day(Date) %><%= Time %> in my asp scripts, but my server does not give the data in the same format that Snitz wants (somehow Snitz changes this automatically).
Any suggestions?

In the file inc_functions you will find a function that changes the date back and forth, the two functions are called strToDate and DateToStr, load up inc_functions and do a search for these functions.

Excuse my ignorance, but do those commands actually call the date and time from a server? Or do they simply convert data that has already been obtained (I don't see any command for that)?

No, you pass the date to the function and it gives you the string, and vice versa

It actually gets the time in Config.asp and places it in the variable strForumTimeAdjust, so all you need to do is pass this to the function ie
StringDate = DateToStr(strForumTimeAdjust)
