[Solved] Modifying User Defined TV date

I have a post for the date Ditto displays but now I have to modify how the user defined date of a TV is being displayed.. I have the TV set to date so its showing

* 09-06-2009 6:03:00

and I’m trying to get it to show mm.dd.yy.. if I format this date, and ditto pulls the information from this page to be displayed on the homepage does it need to be formatted again for ditto?

I tried this

but it doesnt display anything..

For using PHx date make sure you’ve set the TV to unix timestamp (unixtime).
See: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/PHx#date.28.3D.60dateformat.60.29
Also PHx must be installed (it don’t comes with MODx).

ive been trying to figure out how to set the TV as unixtime but I cant figure it out.. tried searching also but i dont know where to place anything.. I see alot about published date but I want to pick a date using a TV with input type set tp "Date".. im confused! I have PHX installed though, but just confused about everything else

Simply set the object of the TV to "unixtime".

but how? i dont see unixtime anywhere

It’s an option in the dropdown at the bottom of the TV settings.
