To do this, you need to modify "includes/view-function.php" file. Edit the file and go to around line 363 ~ 374, you'll see these code :</p> <pre><code><span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['date_mm']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['date_dd']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['date_yyyy']}</label> </span></code></pre> <p>then replace the code with these </p> <pre><code><span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['date_mm']}</label> </span> <span style="display:none"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['date_dd']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['date_yyyy']}</label> </span></code></pre> <p>if you're using dd/mm/yyyy format, you need to edit the code around line 428~439</p> <pre><code><span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['date_dd']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['date_mm']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['date_yyyy']}</label> </span></code></pre> <p>and change it to</p> <pre><code><span style="display:none"> <input id="element_{$element->id}_1" name="element_{$element->id}_1" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_1">{$lang['date_dd']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_2" name="element_{$element->id}_2" class="element text" size="2" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value']}" type="text" /> / <label for="element_{$element->id}_2">{$lang['date_mm']}</label> </span> <span> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}" type="text" /> <label for="element_{$element->id}_3">{$lang['date_yyyy']}</label> </span></code></pre> jlking98 on "Remove "Day" from Date format" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/remove-day-from-date-format#post-9794 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 05:18:33 +0000 jlking98 9794@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Is it possible to remove the "Day" section from the date format and if so how can I do it? </p>
