PHx and GetField

Can PHx and GetField work together?

I have a date field (day2) with a unixtime widget in one document and a time field (day2time), a text field, in another document.

I’ve used PHx to display the date and time if there is a value in the time field. So far so good.


The date field field retrieved with GetField displays the unixtime and I want to format the date with this
The date field is in unixtime because I use it in several places that require different date formats.

I’ve tried a bunch of ways to apply PHx date to the output of the GetField with no success.

Is there a way to use PHx to change the date format retrieved with GetField?

Could you not use a field with the date formatter widget?

Yes I have used GetField this way countless times with PHx, it works.

The problem is definitely date formatting in your case... date formatter could indeed be the simplest option

Guys, thanks for helping me with this.

I would definitely use date formatter if I can.

I removed the date formatter widget because in one place I need a full text date such as Wednesday, September 15 but in another place I want the same date to be Wed Sep 15.

When I use date formatter I get the same date output in both places and I can’t get PHx to reformat the output from the widget. So I switched the TV to unixtime so I could use PHx on both places.

Am I thinking about this right?
