I’m sure this is here somewhere, but I have searched and cannot find it.

How do I insert the current date, so whenever the page is shown the current date is shown?

Thanks

{current_time}...just format it how you like.

What lebisol says 😊 Thanks for the assist.

thats great - thanks.

Can I format it?  I’ve found lots of formatting commands, but I’m not sure how to use them within the string

thanks 😊

sorry, just found the example on formatting…

{date format="%F %d %Y"}

but when I insert it into my template, I get exactly above, not the date inserted 😖 Im a newbie (does it show lol) what am I doing wrong?

thanks, and sorry for asking what are probably very stupid questions :red:

SpectraDisplays,

Try this

{current_time format="%D, %F %d, %Y - %g:%i:%s"}

EE Docs : Date Variable Formatting

Thats the one - Thank You 😊

Glad you have an answer. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
