Widget {date} option

Use {date format=”M, d”} (or your choice of date formatting) to customize the date. All date template tags can take custom formatting.

Thank for that. But when I use the code like

<span> {date format=”F”} </span> for month
<span> {date format=”d”} </span> for day

the month appears correctly but my date gets messed up and {date format =”d”} is printed on the screen

How are you using the code? Can you provide an exact sample from your template?

My code in the widget is as foolows:

<div id="events">
<div class="item">

<span class="month">{date format="F"}</span>

<div class="event-date">
<span class ="day">{date}</span></div>
<h4>{link_title}</h4>
<p class="time">From {time} until:{endusertime},{category}</p>
</div>
</div>

[Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]

In the second {date} in the above code the display gets messed up and does not get parsed. I want to display the month in one line and the day in the other.

<div id="events">
<div class="item">

<span class="month">{date format="F"}</span>

<div class="event-date">
<span class ="day">{date}</span></div>
<h4>{link_title}</h4>
<p class="time">From {time} until:{endusertime},{category}</p>
</div>
</div>

this was my code for implementation

Interesting. Each template item is only parsed once. However, there are multiple date template options – I recommend using {dtstart format=”F”} and {date}, respectively.

For the record, {date} only includes the base date information; {dtstart} contains a full timestamp including the date and time information.

It worked thank you my widget looks the way I wanted it to.
