Hey Doze,

I believe this is a question combining phX and Maxigallery. Still hope you could help
I wanted to change the output of [+maxigallery.picture.date+] which returns: 2007-04-09 14:56:29.

I just wanted it to return 04/09/2007.
I’ve tried the following command with phX:
[+maxigallery.picture.date:date=`%m/%d/%Y`+]
But that gives me: 12/31/1969...

I also tried:
[+maxigallery.picture.date=`%m/%d/%Y`+]
but that returns nothing.

Any suggestions?

The PHx :date modifier expects that the input is a unix timestamp. MaxiGallery returns the time in mysql datetime form so it won’t work, but this should:

Create a snippet "phx:maxidate" with this content:
```
<?php
return strftime($options, strtotime($output));
?>
```
In your MaxiGallery template, use:
```
[+maxigallery.picture.date:maxidate=`%m/%d/%Y`+]
```
