I want to get the date in this format -
MM-dd-yy.
For example: 10-12-23
I'm writing this code but don't getting the desired solution -
{<entity_name>:<attribute>/#date;} Check-In Link
What should I write in the date part?
I'm afraid the only way to make it work is to set the user's locale to a locale that uses MM-dd-yy format.
Alternatively, it's possible to create a custom string field, populate that field with a properly formatted date and use the value of it in your template.

So, I'm working on a template where I have a merge variable, dateSubmitted. This variable comes from an API where it's formatted as so:
dateSubmitted = 2017-09-13GMT22:25:45.513+00:00
I'm trying to insert this date in a slightly nicer way into an email, so in my Mandrill template (using Handlebars) I'm doing the following:
<li><em>Date Submitted:</em> {{date dateSubmitted}}</li>
However, my date continues to display in the email as 2017-09-13GMT22:25:45.513+00:00. What am I doing wrong?
Stumble upon this too. After an hour I re-read the docs, where is stated, that this inline helper is used to
print the current date with a given format, defaults to d/m/Y
So, it is not for formatting your variables but for just displaying current date in custom format.
I am using the wordpress contact form and its field date picker, its default is DD/MM/YYYY, but I want to change its format to MM/DD/YYYY.
Can any one tell me how to do it in contact form 7.
Regards
If above writen code is not working its means:
If a value is specified in a date field, the value must be in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. 2013-04-08) according to the HTML5 specification.
This is in most cases you don’t need to care about because browser’s date picker UI will set a value in the correct format.
I changed the display date format to mm/dd/yy in the front end of my form by using plugin Custom Datepicker NMR for Contact Form 7.
This allows you to use a new input field in your contact form called [datepicker ]
Install/activate the plugin and specify format date to show in the web browser like this:
[datepicker myFirstDatepicker id:myFirstDatepicker format:mm/dd/yy]
This plugin uses jquery-ui datepicker.
Copy and paste it in your function file and also you can modify the date format as per requirement.
add_filter('avf_datepicker_dateformat', 'avf_change_datepicker_format');
function avf_change_datepicker_format($date_format) {
$date_format = 'mm / dd / yy';
return $date_format;
}
Google Forms I need Pre-filled current Date & current Time Entry in date and time fields of my google form. How to do it
My solution is to make the Date field optional. The default is to assume the todays date which is what you get from the timestamp field. In case it needs to be anything else you can enter it manually.
A simple code-free solution is to make separate sections in your form and use the feature that routes users to different sections based on responses. The first section asks whether the form is for the current date/time. If yes, you use the timestamp as the date and time and route the user to the main section with your questions. If not, route them to a section to set the date and time, and then after that route them to the main section.
2023 Solution
-Google Forms has updated how dates are passed through URL parameters.
Instead of passing each component of a date as a separate param, you now pass them using the same syntax as all other fields using the YYYY-MM-DD format for your date value.
Here is an example URL:
`https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/${formId}/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.${dateEntryFieldID}=${YEAR}-${MONTH}-${DAY}`
I have a time field on my form with widget set to 'single_text'.
My US users will want 12 hour am/pm format.
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/time.html#widget
Although it's not entirely obvious, that accepts an input of 2:15pm but if the form returns because of a validation error on another field or is later opened to edit an existing record then it displays 14:15 which of course is correct but is probably off-putting.
How do I get it to display 2:15pm? I don't see an option to do that.
Well, this turns out to be harder than it should be. The problem is that the Time form type does not allow you to specify a format like the Date form type does and the format it uses is H:i. Yes, 24-hour format :-(
So, the only solution is to build your own form type which uses the h:i format. You can find instructions for how to build your own form type here:
http://symfony.com/doc/2.1/cookbook/form/create_custom_field_type.html
Then you can use the Time form type as the base for your form type and just change the format it uses. The Time form type can be found here:
/Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Core/Type/TimeType.php
I have been reading all about converting TEXT fields into date formats and ways to use Python to create date objects but my question remains.
My table has a dateTime column that is specified as TEXT, I would like to build a constraint that forces input to be in dateTime format, but as SQLite doesn't do dates (as I would like) I haven't worked out how to do it.
My current ideas: 1. Limit number of characters
2. Set separate attributes for day, month and year and constrain their domains
3. It is silly to do this on the database side just do it in the user interface
I would appreciate your opinions on these or other options.
Thanks :)
I've been trying to solve the same issue and the method I came up with was to use the date/time functions to parse the value and check that it hasn't changed. Essentially the following:
CREATE TABLE dts_test (
dts TEXT CHECK (dts IS datetime(dts))
);
If the default format is not what you want you can use the strftime or similar to design whatever format you want, but it must be something that the built-in date and time functions can parse.
