PHPRunner General questions

In the edit page I can choose to edit a date as a dropdown box in DD MM YYYY format but when I retun to the list page it is always displayed as YYYY-M-D.

Living in Australia I really want it diplayed as DD-MM-YYYY
From this I then want to calculate the users age, but one thing at a time.
Thanks

Paul,
open List page in Visual Editor, double click on your date field and set its View type to Short Date.

I have a page and table for personal details.

One field is date of birth.

After the user has edited the page and entered their details I would like to list page to show both date of birth and current age in years.

Paul,
you can do this adding calculated field to your SQL query on Edit SQL query tab in PHPRunner.

Here is the sample code:

select

...

BirthDate,

Year(Now())-Year(Birthdate) as Age

from ...


where BirthDate is your actual field name.
Here is more precise version of the code however it will work with MySQL 5 only.

select

...

BirthDate,

TIMESTAMPDIFF(YEAR,Birthdate, NOW()) as Age

from ...
