CB Query Field - Can I format the display of a returned date?

6 years 6 months ago #305495 by rachel.jollie
I am using the CB query field in conjunction with CBSubs and I successfully used a query field to display the user's expiration date on their profile. However I would like to format the returned date to something more user friendly like "January 1, 2018."

In the "display" tab, I turned the rows to "multiple" so I could insert some custom html, hoping that php tags would work and I could call the date() function to format it. But php tags are not accepted.

Any suggestions?

You can use SQL functions to format the date. See the below MYSQL documentation for usage.
