Hey, just needed to find a work around for this too. Just found it. It turns out that the date format is all done in CF7 and not the Dynamic Text extension. So I checked into mod’ing the format in CF7 and found out that you can use [_format_your-date “D, M d y”] to format your date in the email that get’s sent. The ‘your-date’ part is the name of your date field. In my case I just used ‘date’ so my entry into the message body is:
Date Needed: [_format_date “D, M d y”]
Full info is here: http://contactform7.com/date-field/
Bam! Bug squashed!
Hi T.… an anybody who can help me!
thats exactly what I’m actually looking for…
But I can’t get it to work.
I alway get an date format in my mails like: 20150611
Changes in the ACF Date picker setting have no effect… 🙁
My Date comes from an ACF field “event_date”.
I have the following code:
In the tab form I have [dynamichidden date “CF7_get_custom_field key=’event_date'”]
In the tab mail I have [date]
Where I have to add the [_format_date “D, M d y”] in my case?
Can you help me?
