date format

[maelga]

Hi, I have a few profile fields that currently display dates like this: 2016-01-02 00:00:00

How can I format all these dates to show in this format: DD MMM YYYY (e.g. 17 May 2015)?

Thanks

Hello Laura,

We also make use of this plugin. But I can’t get it to work.

We are confused with the sweetdate options.

I use the correct code in the functions.php

When viewing memberspage, I get the date and time instead of the age.

Als when viewing the profile i get: Dat of Birth intead of ‘Age’. The age self is showing correctly.

Which sweetdate options do I need to use?

Hello Laura,

We did a clean install with Sweetdate.

We still have problems with the age/date of birth.

1. We can’t get to show ‘Age’ instead of ‘Date of Birth’ on our profile

2. When in the Member overview we can only see the date of birth. We also uses the custom code from.

COPY CODE

<?php add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'kleo_get_field_value', 1433);

	function kleo_get_field_value($value, $type, $field_id) {

			$value_to_return = $value;
	
			$field = new BP_XProfile_Field($field_id);
			
			if ($type == 'datebox') {
				$value_to_return = floor((time() - strtotime($field->data->value))/31556926);
			}
			
			return $value_to_return;
	} ?>

ID 1433 is the dat of birth field. But in the examples are 2 ID’s. Maybe this is my problem?

I would be very helpful when this is solved

Thanks in advance

Hello Laura,

Yes, ofcourse.

We use Xprofile to show the date of birth field.

We succesfully showed the age on the members profile.

Question 1: What do I have to do to show ‘Age’ instead of ‘DateofBirth’
Question 2: Which code do I need to use to show the ‘Age’ on the members overview page?
When activating in theme the Xprofile plugin shows the DateofBirth

Thanks in advance.

We had all these functions working correctly without Xprofile plugin.
So now we need to use another code?

Hello Laura,

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately we don’t understand eachother.

I know when selecting sweetdate > buddypress I can check for age etc.

But since we make use of Xprofile to enter the users dateofbirth, the age isn’t showing anymore.

Thats why I asked these questions.

Maybe you can/want to take a look.

Hi,

Try to use date() instead the time() it seems that the time add extra details like hours:minutes:seconds

Hello Radu,

Thank you for your reply. Really appreciate the support.

I tried to use the changes. The same problem occurs.

add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘kleo_get_field_value’, 1, 2);
Question: Which ID’s I need to select? Ofcourse the field_id of the dateofbirth. But what about the other ID?

The settings in the theme don’t make sense since using Xprofile.

[Radu]

Hi again,

Try with this

COPY CODE

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'kleo_get_field_value', 999, 3);
function kleo_get_field_value($value, $type, $field_id) {
	if ($type == 'datebox') {
		$field = new BP_XProfile_Field($field_id);
		$birthdate = new DateTime($field);
		$today   = new DateTime('today');
		$age = $birthdate->diff($today)->y;
		return $age;
	}
	return $value;
}

Cheers
R.

Thanks again for your reply Radu, really awesome.

I implemented the code in functions.php
Also no difference.

Strange thing:
Show age instead of birthdate
Enable to show members age insted of Birtdate in user profile.

When changing this to OFF the age is showing.
When changing to ON, the date and time are showing.

Unfortunately I also can’t get the AGE label showing.

I have 3 installs. 1 clean install. On all 3 the same problems.

When not using Xprofile the theme is working correct.

Maybe there is a way I can pay you to solve this problem?

[Radu]

Hi,

I don’t have available to much time but leave there ftp and admin credentials to the clean install where you have to setup the fields for age etc.
After i solve your problem give me how much do you want for this job.
