    Excellent Plug-In. Thank you!

    Can the output of a Date Field be formatted? I have a date field populated with full dates: January 10, 2010, but I need to display only the Month and Date: January 10. Is there a way to format this by short code or some other way?

    Or is the solution to create two more fields, “Month” and “Day” and just display those?

    You have two options, you can either change to general time format of your site, or you can use a custom template for your list. Read this: How to Create Custom Templates

    Thas add this to your template, at the top:

    <?php Participants_Db::$date_format = "F j"; ?>

    Thanks for the quick response. I have started reading through the Custom Template options and I think I understand what to do.

    Please consider this case resolved and you can close it.

    Thanks again.
