Event Manager: Custom Date Format for Custom Attribute

In Event Manager, we have created a custom date attribute (our early bird registration date), however I can’t figure out how to display this custom attribute in a custom date format.

I can display the start and end dates in the format I want no problem however I’ve tried a number of permutations on the custom attribute field and it seems intent on displaying the default format only.

My start & end dates are displayed in a table cell as:

<td class=”eventdate”>#_{j M} – #@_{j M Y}</td>

I’d like the early bird registration date to be displayed in a similar manner, so I thought something like this would work:

<td class=”ebdate”>#_ATT{earlybirddate}{j m Y}</td><td>

I’ve tried moving the {j m Y} before the #, after the #, before the “ATT” and after the “ATT” … but all these changes did was to remove the date entirely … so I still can’t achieve the desired date format.

It consistently displays dates in mm/dd/yyyy format! e.g. 06/15/2016

That’s fine for Americans, but our site is in Australia so I’d really like to see “6 Jun 2016”.

Any ideas?

Thanks
