Date formatting notifications

[cole007]

Is there any way to control the formatting of dates sent by email? Defaulting to YYYY-MM-DD in notifications despite the formatting set for the locale.

Hi Cole,

The email template is essentially a twig template and we use the craft rendering engine to produce the email body.

See line 253 of https://github.com/xodigital/Formerly/blob/master/services/Formerly_SubmissionsService.php

So I think this means you can add twig filters to your email copy so something like { myDate|date('jS F Y') }.

Give it a go and let us know if it works

regards

oh actually no that won't work :(

We go through every tag on the mail template and confirm the tagname is valid. This was to ensure that we didn't get runtime errors on the site when trying to send the email (craft would throw a really obscure error that was confusing everyone).

So it matches the text between the braces to confirm that is a valid tagname

preg_match_all('/{([^}]*)}/', $template, $matches);

We should enhance that to allow for filters in tag,

I've fixed the template filtering code to allow twig filters to be used. So now you can add twig filters to format dates
