Change user registration date output from unix to mm/dd/yyyy

#1

I have this code for our member information page.
You joined WFAH on:
[s2Get constant=“S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_REGISTRATION_TIME” /]

It outputs the date in UNIX. I need it to output the date formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. I’ve tried a couple of ways but am messing up somewhere and we’ve had a couple of instances where paypal has refunded users cause they said we don’t tell them, even though the reminder email goes out.

There has to be a way to do this, surely.

add the following to your functions.php

function custom_registration_date_shortcode() {
	if (is_user_logged_in()) {
		$user = wp_get_current_user();
		$registered = strtotime($user->user_registered);
		return date('m/d/Y', $registered);
	}
	return '';
}
add_shortcode('registration_date', 'custom_registration_date_shortcode');

then use the shortcode [registration_date]

Thanks so much for quick response.
additional questions:
do I have to create a child theme to do this?
or, can I copy and paste to the bottom of the php.functions file in the main Corp theme?

#4

You don’t have to but I don’t enjoy replacing the functions.php file every time the theme is upgraded, so I would If I were you.

I would respectfully suggest to @clavaque to add this to the s2get shortcode

in the same way as s2member_auto_eot_time and s2member_last_payment_time, so that the date/time a user joined can easily be displayed. It’d be super useful and save people needing to code up their own version.

Cheers! :beers:

[s2Get user_field="s2member_auto_eot_time" date_format="M jS, Y, g:i a T" /] # Auto EOT-Time for the current User (when applicable). Use date_format="" with any PHP date formatting chars you like. If you don't pass this, a timestamp is given instead. See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
[s2Get user_field="s2member_last_payment_time" date_format="M jS, Y, g:i a T" /] # Timestamp. Last time an actual payment was received by s2Member. Use date_format="" with any PHP date formatting chars you like. If you don't pass this, a timestamp is given instead. See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

for what its worth the addition can be implemented with adding…

on line 83 of s2member/src/includes/classes/sc-gets-in.inc.php

from

			$get = constant($attr['constant']);

to

			$get = constant($attr['constant']);

			if (preg_match('/time$/i', strtolower($attr['constant'])) && $attr['date_format'])
				if ((is_numeric($get) && strlen($get) === 10) || ($get = strtotime($get))) // Timestamp?
				{
					if ($attr['date_format'] === 'timestamp')
						$get = (string)$get; // No change.

					else if ($attr['date_format'] === 'default')
						$get = date(get_option('date_format'), (int)$get);

					else $get = date($attr['date_format'], (int)$get);
				}

which adds the following to s2Get

[s2Get constant=“S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_REGISTRATION_TIME” date_format=“M jS, Y, g:i a T” /]

until then replace the previous function with this one as it will allow you to defined the date format

function custom_registration_date_shortcode( $atts ) {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        return '';
    }

    // Define default attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'date_format' => 'm/d/Y', // Default format
        ),
        $atts,
        'registration_date'
    );

    $user       = wp_get_current_user();
    $registered = strtotime( $user->user_registered );

    // Use the provided format (sanitized via shortcode_atts)
    return date( $atts['date_format'], $registered );
}

Nice idea. :slight_smile:

@clavaque :point_up_2: This would be a nice little addition to make s2member_current_user_registration_time more easily accessible.

Here you go.

s2member-dev-v260913.1657.zip (1.6 MB)

You can use the date_format attribute with the S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_REGISTRATION_TIME and S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_TIME constants now.

Let me know if it does what you needed.

  • (Framework) Improvement: Added date formatting support to the [s2Get /] shortcode when retrieving the current user’s registration timestamps. S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_REGISTRATION_TIME and S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_PAID_REGISTRATION_TIME can now use the existing date_format attribute (e.g., m/d/Y , default , or timestamp ), making these timestamps easier to display as readable dates without custom PHP. Also corrected the related scripting documentation to distinguish registration day counts from Unix timestamps. Thanks to Gerard for suggesting this. See thread #13221.
