hi everyone!

when i want to display entry date in Safecracker this tag doesn’t seem to work at all:

{entry_date format="%d.%m.%y"}

can anyone confirm the same thing? is it a bug?

it only works without formatting like {entry_date}

regards,

Hi, dmitry.

We’ll need more information, please.

Can you tell us which version/build of EE2.x you’re using? See EEWiki:// HowTo Determine My EE Version

Which version of SafeCracker are you using? 1.03 or 2.0?

i run EE 2.1.3 Build: 20101220 and Safecracker 2.0

Can you show us a little more of your code? I am talking about the relevant parts of your form.

Doesn’t work for me either

EE 2.1.3
SC 2.0.0

{exp:safecracker channel="the_channel" url_title="{segment_2}" return="/{segment_1}/{segment_2}/" limit="1" show_future_entries="yes"}
{entry_date format="%F %Y"}
{/exp:safecracker}

Have tried everything, taking out the show_future_entries, hard coding the url_title etc.

Actually,

Just specifying: {entry_date} works. But once you add the format code, it stops parsing it.

Hi, Noah and Dmitry.

EE takes a date field and saves it out to the database, so specifying different date formats aren’t going to work. Mostly because what if you only specified the year? What would EE use for the other parts of the date field?

So I’d say this is by design, and not a bug per se. Does that make sense?
