XF 1.4 Show only month and year for date joined

[JackieChun]

How can I edit $user.register_date to show month and year only? I only want this change enabled in the postbit, so I'm only editing one template.

{xen:date $user.register_date, 'M Y'}

Thank you so much!

Ah, but that kills the feature that shows the date as "Friday" etc, if the member joined less than a few days ago. Any way to keep both features?

 

[Valhalla]

You could use this, in place of what I posted above:

{xen:if '{$user.register_date} < {xen:calc '{$serverTime} - 86400 * 7'}', '{xen:date $user.register_date, 'M Y'}', '{xen:date $user.register_date}'}

Thanks. I might leave your earlier version. This seems like an unnecessary extra query, and I don't want to overload the server.

There is no additional query involved in that code - the data is already exposed to the template, it is just being manipulated based on a condition.

The new version of the code seems to be working great. Thank you guys!

Hi @Valhalla, the code gives a syntax error in XenForo 2.1. Do you know how to update it?

I tried m and M, but i want to have the whole month as a word like January. What can use for that, please?
