gwp_date_field

From v1.2 this the gwp_date_field merge tag is deprecated. We strongly recommend to use the gwp_date_format merge tag modifier to modify and format Date Fields and Text Fields with dates.

The gwp_date_field Merge Tag returns a modified date time relative to the date time of a field-value with a date/time string in the desired format.

{gwp_date_field id=5 modify="first day of next month" format="d-m-Y"}

{gwp_date_field id=1 field_format="Y-m-d \a\t\ H:i:s" field_timezone='UTC' format="d/m/Y\ \a\t\ H:i:s" timezone='Europe/Amsterdam'}
