We're trying to have the date-of-birth field for our contacts displayed in dd-mm-yyyy format when using mailings but despite me altering every single relevant setting in Civi...our test mailings still display the date of birth in yyyy-mm-dd format? Why might this be?

    It would help if you could state what version of CiviCRM you are using with what CMS?

It might well be that the relevant function does (wrongly) not use the date formatting based on the settings. Could you check that?

  • Well we're using CiviMail for these mailings but that function doesn't appear to have a separate date formatting setting.

  • I am sure it does not :-) I meant if you have any PHP skills and would be able to check in the code?
