  • 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

  • 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
    E

  • 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?

  • ok i found alone,
    i don’t put the good key name šŸ˜‰

    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 Iā€™m 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.

  • Sorry but I’m not having luck with getting the date formatting to work, referring to the datepicker documentation page.

    http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/

    Here’s my code:

    if(get_field('deadline'))
	{
	echo '<li><strong>Deadline: </strong>' . get_field('deadline') . '</li>';
	}

    I was trying this but end up with a blank page:

    if(get_field('deadline'))
	{
        $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('deadline'));
	echo '<li><strong>Deadline: </strong>' . $date->format('d-m-Y') . '</li>';
	}

    Thanks for any help!

  • Got this working like this:

    <?
				
				$currentdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y")));
				
                if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
                  $paged = get_query_var('paged');
                  } else if ( get_query_var('page') ) {
                          $paged = get_query_var('page');
                  } else {
                          $paged = 1;
                  }
                  query_posts( array(
                  	'meta_query'=> array(
	                    array(
	                      'key' => 'event_date',
	                      'compare' => '>',
	                      'value' => $currentdate,
	                      'type' => 'DATE',
	                    )),
	                 'post_type' => 'events',
	                 'meta_key' => 'event_date',
	                 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
	                 'posts_per_page' => 4,
	                 'order' => 'ASC',
	                 'paged' => $paged ) );
                  while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                ?>

  • I’m having this same issue, trying to get the date to automatically display formatted like “Mon July, 29”.

    If I use the code above, it breaks the page and nothing will load. Any thoughts on this? I love this plugin by the way!

    Here is the code that I’m using. The “onsale” field is the Date Picker and I would like to reformat how it displays on the page. Thanks!

    <?php
    $onsale_date = strtotime(get_field(‘onsale’));
    $now = time();

    if ($onsale_date > $now) {
    ?>
    On Sale

    <?php
    echo get_field( ‘onsale’ );
    }
    else { echo get_field( ‘price’ );
    }
    ?>

  • Hi @cerulean

    The display_format is only for use in the back-end. It is not what is returned to you via the API.

    To format the date object, please follow the code examples on the date picker documentation page.

    Thanks
    Elliot

  • save_post() works fine in 4.1.8, and doesn’t create any errors. Here’s XDebug Context for ACF 4.1.8 , breakpoint at $f = apply_filters('acf/load_field', false, $k ); in acf.php:save_post( $post_id )

    But I guess this is not really the issue. As said previously, the content exist in post meta but it’s not displayed/populated to the custom field.

    When I open a post, where (in ACF) is data read from post meta (ie, where should I set my breakpoints)?

  • In addition to Elliot’s suggested method, if you didn’t want to change the value saved to the database, you could use the DateTime ‘format’ method:

    
$date = get_field("my_date_field");

// assuming your return format is "Ymd"
$dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat("Ymd", $date);

if ( is_object($dateTime) ) {
  $month = $dateTime->format('F');
  $year = $dateTime->format('Y');
  //...
}
