XF 2.2 Format dates in .custom_fields.getFormattedValue(fieldId)

[Orit]

Hi

In a template, I am trying to print 2 custom_fields containing a date such as 25/5/25-29/5/25
(I'm using {{$content.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('date111')}}-{{$content.custom_fields.getFormattedValue('date2111')}})
It prints: 2025-05-25-2025-05-29

Is there a way to format it, so it shows the format: 25/05-29/05 (without the year, a forward slash instead of -)

Thanks!!

To anyone interested- I achieved it by simply using the split template filter.

Good luck to all

XF 2.3 Thread 'Date format for custom thread fields'

Sep 21, 2024

I am getting YYYY-MM-DD when calling a custom thread field.

I thought there'd be something like {$variable|number} for formatting dates with |date and took inspiration from member profiles seeing the date() function, but nothing worked.

Is there a way to format it to MMM DD, YYYY? Or any other formats?
