    We’re using the Birth date field but need to only show the Month and Day due to privacy concerns. Can you point me at any documentation allowing us to create a custom date format? I’m a PHP developer and I’ve used WordPress filters and actions if that is what’s needed. Thanks!

    Also, I need to show only the year for the Membership Date, otherwise I would just change the settings for date to F j instead of F j, Y.

    Navigate to the Connections Settings admin page and click the Display tab. The date format can be adjusted to omit the year.

    Hope this helps!

    Sorry, I had the page open already so I did not see your follow up up reply.

    In this case, I recommend hooking in the to cn_output_date filter. It passes four attributes.

    • $html :: This is the html of the date row. Return the HTML as you need with the altered date format. Refer to the ../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/entry/dates/dates-hcard.php file for the HTML markup.
    • $date :: This is a cnEntry_Date object. Calling $date->getDate() returns a DateTime object. Calling $date->getType() will return the date type.
    • $entry :: This is the current entry.
    • $atts :: The current shortcode options.

    With a filter applied to cn_output_date you’ll be able to check for the date type and alter the format as needed.

    Hope this helps!
