Re: How to display a date in my template as Mar. 1 2008...not 2008-03-01?

[David Marquis]

You forgot the pipe | character and the colon :

{% for a in entries %}
  Date: {% a.date|date:"jS o\f F" %}<br />
{% endfor %}

If a is your date, then:

{% for a in entries %}
  Date: {% a|date:"jS o\f F" %}<br />
{% endfor %}

Have you read the docs? They are pretty clear about the syntax of template filters.

Alex,
I tried that however I get the following error: TemplateSyntaxError:
Invalid block tag: 'a.date'

Here is my template

{% for a in entries %}
  Date: {% a.date "jS o\f F" %}<br />
{% endfor %}

I'm querying a table in my db.  Each record that gets returned

Mar. 1 2008.

contains a DateField (the date it was created). I'm able to show the date in the template...however I want to change the format it's being displayed as. In this case it's 2008-03-01. I want the date to show

Thanks
