“Customer Since” code/function that outputs the date?

I’m setting up an Account page for customers and I like how you guys did the EDD website’s account dashboard. Is there a code/function for “Customer Since” that outputs a formatted date?

I found the code for number of total purchases:
<?php echo edd_count_purchases_of_customer(); ?>

And the code for total value of purchases on Andrew’s site from 2015 (is there an easier way to output this besides using Andrew’s method?):

I just can’t find the code for Customer Since. Thanks!

For the Customer since field, you can use the $custoner->date_created method.
Perhaps something like this to get the date:


$customer_since_date = substr( $customer->date_created, 0, strpos( $customer->date_created, ' ' ) );
$customer_since = date( 'F j, Y', str_replace( '-', '/', strtotime( $customer_since_date ) ) );

Something similar can be done for the purchase value as that is now stored in the Customer table:


echo edd_currency_filter( edd_format_amount( $customer->purchase_value ) );

ah that’s a bit over my head @misulicus, I could use little more help if you wouldn’t mind, if not I understand.

I don’t know how to put that in my custom template page file for it to output the formatted date. I can’t do:

<?php $customer_since_date = substr( $customer->date_created, 0, strpos( $customer->date_created, ' ' ) );
$customer_since = date( 'F j, Y', str_replace( '-', '/', strtotime( $customer_since_date ) ) );
?>

I looked in customers.php and found this but it outputs December 31, 1969:

<span class="customer-since info-item editable">
<?php printf(
/* translators: The date. */
esc_html__( '%s', 'easy-digital-downloads' ),
esc_html( edd_date_i18n( $customer->date_created ) )
); ?>
</span>

And this just outputs $0.00:

<?php echo edd_currency_filter( edd_format_amount( $customer->purchase_value ) ); ?>

Do I need to put some code in my functions.php file and call it from there?

Hey @sho-down

You will need to get the $customer object first in order to access that data. Posting a code snippet below but you might need to adjust it based on your needs.
If you need assistance with this is best to reach out to a developer:


$customer = '';
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

	if ( class_exists( 'Easy_Digital_Downloads' ) ) {
		$customer = new EDD_Customer( $current_user->ID, true );
	}
	
	if ( ! empty( $customer->id ) ) {
		$customer_since_date = substr( $customer->date_created, 0, strpos( $customer->date_created, ' ' ) );
		$customer_since = date( 'F j, Y', str_replace( '-', '/', strtotime( $customer_since_date ) ) );
	
		echo $customer_since; //This prints the Customer creation date

		echo edd_currency_filter( edd_format_amount( $customer->purchase_value ) ); // This prints the customer's purchase value
	}
}

Thanks so much @misulicus that works in my page template, I just had to add an additional bracket at the end:

<?php $customer = ''; ?>
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

	if ( class_exists( 'Easy_Digital_Downloads' ) ) {
		$customer = new EDD_Customer( $current_user->ID, true );
	}
	
	if ( ! empty( $customer->id ) ) {
		$customer_since_date = substr( $customer->date_created, 0, strpos( $customer->date_created, ' ' ) );
		$customer_since = date( 'F j, Y', str_replace( '-', '/', strtotime( $customer_since_date ) ) );
	
		echo $customer_since; //This prints the Customer creation date

		echo edd_currency_filter( edd_format_amount( $customer->purchase_value ) ); // This prints the customer's purchase value
	}
}
?>
