Hi @rdck
Have you tested that get_field('event_end_date') returns a value?
Hi @aaronrobb
The date picker will use the save_format option to load and save data to.
What is the save_format option set to?
Looks like it’s to do with the fact it’s in a while loop?
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
And actually, I realised I hadn’t formatted the date, so have this now ā
$end_date_passed_check = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('event_end_date'));
if ($end_date_passed_check->format('Ymd') < date('Ymd'))
{
$date_passed = 'date-passed';
}
But alas it’s adding the class randomly… not as it should be.
I thought this might’ve worked; but throwing out an undefined variable…
$end_date_passed_check = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('event_end_date'));
if ($end_date_passed_check < date('Ymd'))
{
$date_passed = 'date-passed';
}
<div class="each-programme-content <?php echo $date_passed; ?>"></div>
Hello, is this problem fixed now? I have still same problem.
ACF plugin 4.2.1, ACF Datepicker plugin 2.0.9
Must I change something in plugin source code?
Hi @elliot,
Here is the data from ‘postmeta’ table.
a:11:{s:3:"key";s:19:"field_51f95d72c7c5a";s:5:"label";s:4:"Date";s:4:"name";s:4:"date";s:4:"type";s:11:"date_picker";s:12:"instructions";s:36:"Please select the date of your event";s:8:"required";s:1:"0";s:11:"date_format";s:3:"Ymd";s:14:"display_format";s:8:"dd/mm/yy";s:9:"first_day";s:1:"1";s:17:"conditional_logic";a:3:{s:6:"status";s:1:"1";s:5:"rules";a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:5:"field";s:19:"field_51f846266fda1";s:8:"operator";s:2:"==";s:5:"value";s:6:"Events";}}s:8:"allorany";s:3:"all";}s:8:"order_no";i:4;}
Hi @kikimarie1234
Have you debugged the variables in each step?
Can you post the results?
Try this:
list($day, $month, $year) = sscanf('12/04/2010', '%02d/%02d/%04d'); // field value
$datetime = new DateTime("$year-$month-$day"); // your format
echo $datetime->format('r'); // desired format
source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2621433/date-create-from-format-equivalent-for-php-5-2-or-lower
I am having the same problem as well.
I’m using the following code in my theme functions file
function datepicker_to_unix( $date ){
$dateparts = explode('/', $date);
$unixtimestamp = strtotime(date('d.m.Y', strtotime($dateparts[1].'/'.$dateparts[2].'/'.$dateparts[0])));
return $unixtimestamp;
}
And then the following in my template file
<?php $date = get_field('field_name'); echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?>
The result outputs: January 01, 1970
Thank you SO much! This is what I ended up with…
<div>
<?php $associations = get_field('associations');
if( $associations ): ?>
<?php foreach( $associations as $association): ?>
<?php
$photo = get_field('investment_logo', $association->ID); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark">
<img src="<?php echo $photo['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $photo['alt']; ?>" />
</a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" >
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date'); echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
</div>
Really appreciate your quick response! Thank you!!
Hi @sallywp
What code are you using to display the date field data?
Hi @kikimarie1234
Thanks for the screenshots.
The code you want to use will look something like this:
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date'); echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
<?php
// 1. Get all the relationship values
$associations = get_field('associations');
// 2. Make sure a value exists
if( $associations ): ?>
<?php
// 3. loop through relatinoship values
foreach( $associations as $association): ?>
<?php // 4. Load the image field from the association ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_field('investment_logo', $association->ID); ?>" />
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
Please note this is an example and not the final Markup you will need.
Thanks

Yes, I am aware that I need to put the relationship code within my loop but I don’t know what the code should be. Every time I tried adding it, I got a php error. I’m confused because I’m already querying multiple different posts on the page (unlike the documentation which shows an example of querying for a single template file).
Please see the screenshots for what I’m working with. I know this is slightly complicated but I’m sure folks would want to know how to do this as well.
I want to query the image somewhere between this div.
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('%s','rys'), get_the_title()) ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<em><?php the_field('publication_source'); ?></em>
<span><?php $date = get_field('publication_date');
echo date('F d, Y', datepicker_to_unix($date )); ?></span>
</div>
Really appreciate your help! Thank you!!
Hi @rcriche
1. Please look over the documentation for examples of formatting a date field:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/
2. You can use a PHP function such as substr
@matthewbivins sorry for the late reply, just got back in town. Here’s the code that worked for me. It can be improved upon but did the job. Best of luck.
<?php
if(get_field('deadline'))
{
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('deadline'));
echo '<li><strong>Deadline: </strong>';
echo $date->format('F j, Y');
echo '</li>';
}
?>

Hello, guys,
I thought that my issue involved the PHP version my server had installed. I asked the host to upgrade me to 5.3 at least.
This upgrade worked…spottily. I could then get the format to change, mostly, but then I started having issues with the custom fields themselves; I would use the datepicker to choose a date, update the post, and the date would disappear. I would also get a fatal error: “Call to a member function format() on a non-object” on the posts that did have dates attached to the field. When I was lucky, the formats were changed perfectly (using the PHP code suggested on the DatePicker reference page on this site), but in the end I had to set the field to “text” instead of “datepicker” because I couldn’t guarantee success.
@cerulean or others like him/her – I’d definitely check to see what version of PHP your server is running. If it’s below 5.3 the “DateTime::createFromFormat” code won’t work. Upgrade and it might fix your issue!
@elliot, or others – can you point me to a piece of jQuery that you know works to change the datepicker format? And perhaps let me know what I need installed on my site as well (jQuery, jQuery UI, perhaps)?
Many thanks, Matt
Hey guys,
Have you debugged your code to see what is and isn’t working?
eg:
if(get_field('deadline'))
{
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('deadline'));
echo '<pre>';
print_r($date);
echo '</pre>';
die;
}
@cerulean –
I’m having the same problem…using the code provided in the Date Picker docs but still coming up with “20131111” as a display format, for example.
Your code above looks fine to me; it’s very similar to what I’ve been trying. Did you have any luck finding a solution?
M
ok i found alone,
i don’t put the good key name š
it’s ok like this:
$currentdate = date(“Y-m-d”,mktime(0,0,0,date(“m”),date(“d”)-1,date(“Y”)));
query_posts( array(
‘meta_query’=> array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘date-picker’,
‘compare’ => ‘>’,
‘value’ => $currentdate,
‘type’ => ‘DATE’,
)),
‘post_type’ => ‘concerts’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘date-picker’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 4,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
) );
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post-photo”>
<div class=”thumbnail opacity”>”><?php the_post_thumbnail(‘thumbnail’); ?></div>
<p><?php the_title();?></p><br/>
<div class=”bouton-6″>voir l’album</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
Hi @cerulean
Perhaps you could elaborate more on ‘Sorry but Iām not having luck’.
Have you done any debugging?
Thanks for any assistance on displaying the Datepicker date as July 19, 2013 and not 20130719.
Let me know if there’s other documentation I should be looking at besides http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/
Thanks!
To be clear, I’m referring to the WYSIWYG editor on this forum site. Anyway, thanks for helping with my date formatting problem : )
Unrelated but odd … when I try to use the “link” tool in the WYSIWYG editor it shuts the entire site window after clicking the link window button (tried it a few times). Not sure if anyone else has this problem but thought I’d mention it.
