How to display JetEngine 'date-fields' in Bricks?

How To
1

This is relating to [JetEngine Date fields are not displayed correctly in Bricks - Bugs] - I have contacted Crocoblock support, but all they could point me towards was the ‘Elementor’ way of doing this:

  1. format date-field as UNIX time-stamp (re-enter all field values)
  2. use a “Format Date” callback to reformat the Unix-timestamp into human-readable time.

My question is this: how could I reformat a UNIX timestamp in Bricks? Is there any way i could somehow solve this programmatically? My PHP/ javascript is not strong enough…

Aehm - this seemed to be easier than expected.

  1. Within JetEngine CPT - switch toggle to "Save as timestamp’
  2. In Bricks select dynamic field and formatting is taking place automatically - dates fields are updated correctly.

Thank you for posting this! I was having issues getting JetEngine CPT date fields to display correctly. The “Save as timestamp” toggle solved my problems.
