Testing time:

• From Help:ParserFunctions##time:

{{#time: z | 20071031}}

Yields: 303

• 121 seconds?

{{#time: i:s | 121}}

Yields: Error: invalid time

• So time doesn't support converting seconds to "hh:mm:ss" format, unfortunately. We gotta do it manually using Help:ParserFunctions##expr:, but now we have two more problems:
  • There is no modulo operation, and we can't use "round" to easily emulate it.
  • So, here goes nothing:

{{#expr: 121/60}} <br/><!-- convert 121 seconds to minutes -->
{{#expr: 119/60}} <br/><!-- convert 119 seconds to minutes -->
{{#expr: 121/60 round 0}} <br/><!-- round 121 seconds to minutes -->
{{#expr: 119/60 round 0}} <br/><!-- round 119 seconds to minutes -->

• Fortunately, we should be able to use the above logic for IF statements. Unfortunately, this crazy logic may time out...

• But wait! Turns out there is module after all:

{{#expr: 121%60}} <br/><!-- confirm there is no modulo symbol -->
{{#expr: 121 mod 60}} <br/><!-- confirm there is a modulo operator -->
{{#expr: 119 mod 60}} <br/><!-- confirm there is a modulo operator -->

Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "%"

• So we can now easily convert seconds to hh:mm:ss:

{{#expr: (121-(121 mod 60))/60}}:{{#expr:121 mod 60}} <br/> <!-- 121 seconds to mm:ss -->
{{#expr: (119-(119 mod 60))/60}}:{{#expr:119 mod 60}} <br/> <!-- 119 seconds to mm:ss -->

• Okay, so this doesn't do zero padding :-/
