Extra field date format in module was created by Margero Ramada
Hi,

I am using a module to display events created as items in the k2 component.
For the extra fields i have a field type date.

I have used the following code to fetch the extra fields information.
<?php
		$metas = ($item->extra_fields==null)?0:json_decode($item->extra_fields);
							
		if( (isset($metas[0]) && ($metas[0]->value !='')) ){
?>
<span>
<?php      if( isset($metas[0]) && $metas[0]->value != '' ) 
		echo $metas[0]->value ;
?>
</span>
		<?php }?>

It will get the date shown in just numbers format. (2017-08-14)
I want it to be 14 august 2017.

I have noticed that in the item itself the date is being shown as follow: Monday, 14 august 2017.
So is this possible to be the same in a module?

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Hi Krikor,

The methods shown in those posts did not work in an external module.
I was able to make it work with
<span>
<?php if( isset($metas[0]) && $metas[0]->value != '' ) 
	echo date('d', strtotime($metas[0]->value)) ;
  ?>
</span>
<span>
<?php if( isset($metas[0]) && $metas[0]->value != '' )
    echo date('F', strtotime($metas[0]->value)) ;
?>
</span>
<span>
<?php if( isset($metas[0]) && $metas[0]->value != '' ) 
echo date('Y', strtotime($metas[0]->value)) ;
?>
</span>

But now the Month is being shown in English And i want it in Dutch.

Any ideas?

Stupid question here, have you correctly setup K2's and Joomla!'s languages?

Are the dates correct in the rest of the extension?
