I am trying to format a timestamp field using the %fieldname%__display delegate class, but the procedure is getting ignored. What am I missing?

function last_updated__display(&$record){

if ($record->val(‘last_updated’) == NULL){

return “”;

} else {

return date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, strtotime($record->strval(‘last_updated’)));

}

}

[last_updated]

widget:label = “Last Updated”

widget:type = static

visibility:list = hidden

visibility:browse = hidden

order = 13

last\_updated timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’ ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

You need $element

Code: Select all

function last_updated__display(&$record, $element)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I ended up getting it to work with the following:

function last_updated__pullValue(&$record, $element){

if ($record->val(‘last_updated’) == NULL){

return “”;

} else {

return date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, strtotime($record->strval(‘last_updated’)));

}

}
