I did some searching and found some similar issues, but no resolution. Essentially, I've created a custom 'date' field, which stores a date and uses the date picker. No problem there. It prints out fine to PDF too, using the tokens. The issue is the format. Even if I set the 'Date Format' to something else, for example what I want 'mm/dd/yyyy,' the token will only display 'September 13, 2012.'

I tried changing the format using Smarty, but it seems like it's not outputting actual date data, but an already formatted string which can't be formatted using the date_format function of Smarty.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug? Why can't I change the format the date is displayed in?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response and the idea, but I don't think that's the case. I'm using WKHTML, and as far as I can tell, the Smarty token is being replaced with the full 'September 14th, 2012' date. I think it's an issue with CIVICRM.

Any other ideas?
