[Geomoose-users] Formatting date field in html template

[Nayna Nayate]

Hi all,

I have a date field in my shapefile in the format mm/dd/yyyy which displays as yyyymmdd when I do an identify or select in geomoose .

I looked at the mapserver documentation on how to format attribute items and couldn't find anything on displaying date formats.

Any suggestions on how I can get my date field to display properly without converting it into a text field in the shapefile? Here is how I currently have the field in my identify template.

<tr>
<td align="right" class="border"><b>Purchase Date:</b></td>
<td class="border">[item name="PURCHDATE" format="$value"]</td>
</tr

Thanks in advance!
Nayna
