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"}

Using with Date Field

Example where field 1 is a Date Field:

{gwp_date_field id=1 modify="first day of next month" format="d-m-Y"}

Using with Text Field

Example where field 1 is a Text Field:

{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'}

Notes

• id is the field ID (or input ID) in the current entry. The merge tag needs an entry, so it works in notifications, confirmations and other places after submission.
• For a Date field the stored format Y-m-d is used; for other fields set field_format. Use field_format="U" for a Unix timestamp or field_format="U_local" for a timestamp that holds the local time in field_timezone.
• field_timezone and timezone default to the WordPress timezone setting.
• modify supports nested merge tags, like modify="+*|Days:3|* days".
• An empty field returns nothing.
