(data substring short code

NickOg 14 Oct, 2018

Is there a short code for selecting part of a value?

eg

{data:someDate.0.4}

or the like???

Answer

As in if you have a string, only selecting the first {x} characters? No. Just use PHP.

If you only want part of a date, just use {date:format} so for example {date:Y}

Yes - that's it. Maybe it was your comments in that FAQ about date that made me think I had seen a substring shortcode.

Thanks for the reply
