Thread 'Hardcoded phrase & Birthday format'

Jan 14, 2023

The phrase "Image cannot be loaded from the passed link." is hardcoded.

Also, the birthday on 'Members > About' (https://xenforo.com/community/members/twollert.2468/#about) doesn't follow the format settings in the language. For example: The birthday on https://xenforo.com/community/account/account-details follows those settings.

Thanks @Jeremy P, I haven't looked as far back as January 2023... it would be nice to have this resolved.

It would be nice, but it's not a trivial fix for such a minor issue. In fact, looking even further back this was marked 'As designed' so I'm not positive we'll wind up making any changes here:

As designed Post in thread 'Birthday format on profile doesn't seem to match that chosen in the language settings'

Jul 24, 2020

This is generally as designed. As noted, if no year is selected, we don't have a date format that can handle that. It's not trivial to try to convert the full date format to one that doesn't have the year, so we pick one (that we internally refer to as monthDay).

If this is significant to you, you might need to customize the member_about template to override the birthday display format.

Ok, i see.
What would the correct syntax here to get the birthday date like 8 November?

{{ date($user.Profile.birthday.timeStamp, $user.Profile.birthday.format) }}

 

[Jeremy P]

Change $user.Profile.birthday.format to the date format you want:

The default is 'F j'.

{{ date($user.Profile.birthday.timeStamp, 'j F') }}
