Invoice Date wrong format

The date listed on the invoice is in the wrong format. So under the table section where it says “Event & Attendee” with the name of the event, the date in the square brackets [ ] are showing US date format, whereas I need it to be dd-mm-yyyy. All my date settings in WordPress are correct. It is only the invoice I would like to adjust.

 

Thankyou.

Hi,

Sorry about that, I have already raised a developer ticket to look into this as for some reason the date is hardcoded in whereas all other dates use the default WordPress dating system. When it is resolved it will be added into the next closest update.

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the follow up! I’ll keep my eye out for the update. In the meantime, can you point me to the file in question to alter this hard coded date (if its possible?).

Hi,

Sure, its in event-espresso/gateways/invoice/template.php

It is around line 163 and this is the line in question

pdftext($tmp_attendee["event_name"] . "[" . date('m-d-Y', strtotime($tmp_attendee['start_date'])) . "]") . ' >> '

Changing it to

pdftext($tmp_attendee["event_name"] . "[" . date(get_option('date_format'), strtotime($tmp_attendee['start_date'])) . "]") . ' >> '

should get you the right format (based on WP’s date format).
