Date Format

[wise]

Hello, I see the date on the invoice is Month/date/year,
where is a file I can edit to modify it?

Refer to the Invoice Templates & Styles topic on the left menu. It explains how you can create your own, personalized printed/pdf invoice template. This allows you to personalize the output as you need to. Also, you can try out other templates included with SI by selection in SI Defaults setting.

Hello,
I found it the file public_html\invoices\templates\invoices\default\template.tpl and also the code:
field=$invoice.date|utilDate
But how can I change the format?
I was expecting something like
date_format($date,”Y/m/d H:i:s”);
any indication?
Thank you

Look in the Inc/Claz/Util.php file. Find the date method. Notice in the comments the supported date formats. Say you want the long format (ex: May 8, 2024). In the field you mentioned you would have:

field=$invoice.date|utilDate:long

If you need a format other than those in the Util::date method, you would need to implement extension code to do it. View the Extensions topic.

Great! It works perfectly!
