Customize Date Output

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

Hi there,

Searched without successful answer.

I’m wondering what would be the best way to customize the date tag so it outputs the full name of the month? ex. 12th March 2017

<?php echo $page->date('d / m / Y') ?>

any advice would be wonderful.

By default the PHP date function handles date formatting in Kirby. You can see all the available formats on the PHP manual: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

In your case it would be:

<?php echo $page->date('jS F Y') ?>

This works well for English alone. If you need it for a multilingual site, use the strftime date handler and check out the manual for that on the PHP site too.
