Current date

[Anonymous]

Dear Franky,

I have the impression that in version 2.2.88 the use of #_CURDATE or #_CURDATE{} or #_CURDATE{Y-m-d} or another allowed expression between {} breaks the output. Also when used in conditions using #ESC_CURDATE.

However this one works fine:
[eme_if3 tag="#ESC_STARTDATE{}" ge="#ESC_CURDATE{}"]<br>Aanmelden/afmelden klik op[/eme_if3] #_LINKEDNAME<br> and so on and so on …

This one does not give good response
[eme_if3 tag="#ESC_STARTDATE" ge="#ESC_CURDATE"]<br>Aanmelden/afmelden klik op[/eme_if3] #_LINKEDNAME<br> and so on and so on …
The output gives “4 juli 2022” in stead of “Aanmelden/afmelden klik op …. ” and all the other stuff thereafter is missing.

The same bad response for
[eme_if3 tag="#ESC_STARTDATE{Y-m-d}" ge="#ESC_CURDATE{Y-m-d}"]<br>Aanmelden/afmelden klik op[/eme_if3] #_LINKEDNAME<br> and so on and so on …
The outout gives “Y-m-d2022-07-04 18:18:06” in stead of “Aanmelden/afmelden klik op …. ” and all the other stuff thereafter is missing.

#_CURDATE gives output 4 juli 2022
#_CURDATE{} gives output 4 juli 2022
#_CURDATE{l d F Y} gives output 4 juli 2022. To my opinion this must be (in Dutch) maandag 04 juli 2022. I use this f.i. in a dated pdf file.

My question is: Do I use #_CURDATE in a wrong way, or has something changed in version 2.2.88 which was not meant by you.

I hope you can give some information about this.

Sorry:
#_CURDATE gives output “4 juli 2022”
#_CURDATE{} gives output “#_CURDATE{}”
#_CURDATE{l d F Y} gives output “l d 4 juli 2022”. To my opinion this must be (in Dutch) maandag 04 juli 2022. I use this f.i. in a dated pdf file.

Indeed, this should fix it (one-liner):

Dear Franky,

I might have found that oneliner myself. However it does not solve the problem with #_CURDATE.

In https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/event-formatting/ you write “If you want to show the current date or time in your event or form or mail: #_CURDATE and #_CURTIME (give you the current date//time based on your wordpress date/time preferences).” That’s correct, but the ouput is broken behind the #_CURDATE placeholder. And with broken I mean there is no output visible on the screen or in the generated pdf file.

I hope the problem is still another oneliner, but I have no idea where to look in the plugin code.

I confirm that it wasn’t fixed, this should do it (I overwrote a $format variable which it obviously shouldn’t do):

Dear Franky
I had the impression it was about this variable because that one is used for more replacements. But you know your plugin code better than I do.
So I’m glad you found the right solution.
The bug I noticed, now seems to be solved by you 🙂
Thanks for your very quick and good respons *****
