Problem display DATE

Hi

I create 2 fields DATE , cb_date1 and cb_date2, with personalised format date m-Y (edit and display for the two fields)
It works fine when I use these fields normally.

But i want to display cb_date1 / cb_date2 in the layout of date1

If for example I have date1 = 05-2017 and date2 = 08-2017

I put : [value] / [cb_date2] -> i have : 05-2017 / 2018-10-01

I put : [value] / [cb:userfield field="cb_date2" /] -> I have 05-2017 - nothing

I put : [value] / [cb:userdata field="cb_date2" /] -> I have 05-2017 / 2018-10-01

So , how can I have : 05-2017 / 08-2017

Thank you.

[FIELD_NAME] and [cb:userdata field="FIELD_NAME" /] are the same except userdata lets you specify parameters. Neither respect display parameter for a field. So if a field is set to not display on profile both those usages will still display it, but it will have no formatting as it outputs the raw value. [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] will have formatting, but will also respect display parameter and permissions. To use [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] you need to be sure the field is set to display on profile. If you don't want it actually displayed then be sure to move it to a tab in a not shown on profile position.

Thank you for the answer but I use [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] and I'm sure the field is set to display on profile.

The result is empty.

Another idea ?

Move the field to a tab that does show on profile then check the users profile and see if you can see the field. If you can't then you won't be able to substitute it in with [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /]. It could be hidden as result of a condition from CB Conditional, privacy controls in CB Privacy, or display parameters on the field it self.

In fact, I forget to say something important : my 2 dates field are in a field group !!!!
Without field group, all is fine.

With the field group, I have always the problem. (No conditionnal or privacy controls...)

You might, and this is a BIG might, be able to do that by structuring the field name in the substitution as follows.

FIELDGROUPNAME_INDEX_FIELDNAME

Example as follows.

cb_myfields_0_cb_date

This should display the cb_date field in the first row of the cb_myfields field group. Use 1 for second row, 2 for 3rd, etc.. This may only work with raw substitutions output (e.g. [cb_myfields_0_cb_date]).

If that doesn't work your best option is to just create a new template for the CB Fields Group plugin that outputs the repeated groups however you like. You can find the template files at the below location. Several examples are already included that do partial replacements (e.g. list, tag, and table).
