Unix timestamp to human date

Hi Eve,
you could write a formatting function (plugin will pick it up it the naming standards are followed for the field) for that field.
You could have it call the expire-users function (or use the same code if they don’t have a callable function) so that it formats exactly the same.

Or check my plugins pluggables file, there should be a formatting function you can call from the one that does the field.

do not edit plugin files (will lose it when you upgrade), rather add it to site specific plugin as per instructions.

hi anmari,
I’ve tried something like this, but it does not seem to work:

function ausers_format_expire_user_date ($expire_user) {
return $expire_user->get_expire_date_display();
}

my question in particular is; what is the argument of the function supposed to be? Is it as I have it, $expire_user or something else?
many thanks,
eve

sorry,
i did not mention:
I am trying to reference the expir-users plugin’s function called get_expire_date_display.

Hi eve,

see here or any of the formatting functions in the pluggables file

https://wpusersplugin.com/2645/format-any-field-any-way-you-wish/

2 parameters, first is the value, second is the wp user being processed (if needed)
I don’t know whether your $expire_user is a wp user or not, you’d have to work that part out yourself.

or do something like (untested)

function ausers_format_timestamp_as_date($v) {
		if (empty($v)) return ('');
		$d = date('Y-m-d H:i:s e', (int) $v) ;
		if (!$d) {
			return($v);  // not a valid date just return the value
			}
		else return ($d->format('l, j M Y h:i a e' );	// or whatever format string you want
	}

hi anmari,
thank you, this worked! (there is a second underscore between format and expire.)

function ausers_format__expire_user_date ($expire_user) {
if (empty($expire_user)) return ”;
return date(‘m/d/Y’,$expire_user);
}

Glad it’s working.
Looks like your ‘expire_user’ is actually ‘expiry_date’ ?

Good idea to name more meaningfully so when you come back to it later it will be less confusing.
