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

Is there a code/function for “Customer Since” that outputs a formatted date? * I found the code for number of total purchases: `` * 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?): [https://andrew.dev/easy-digital-downloads-show-how-much-customer-has-spent](https://andrew.dev/easy-digital-downloads-show-how-much-customer-has-spent) * I just can’t find the code for Customer Since.

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 ) ); ``` * Thread Starter [Sho-Down](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sho-down/) * (@sho-down) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customer-since-code-function-that-outputs-the-date/#post-16149469) * ah that’s a bit over my head [@misulicus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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: * ``` 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**: * ``` date_created ) ) ); ?> ``` * And this just outputs $0.00: * `purchase_value));? >` * Do I need to put some code in my functions.php file and call it from there? * Plugin Contributor [Mihai Joldis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misulicus/) * (@misulicus) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customer-since-code-function-that-outputs-the-date/#post-16159990) * Hey [@sho-down](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sho-down/) * You will need to get the `$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 } } ``` - This reply was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by [Mihai Joldis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misulicus/). * Thread Starter [Sho-Down](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sho-down/) * (@sho-down) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customer-since-code-function-that-outputs-the-date/#post-16165228) * Thanks so much [@misulicus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misulicus/) that works in my page template, I just had to add an additional bracket at the end: * ``` 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 } } ?> ``` Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘“Customer Since” code/function that outputs the date?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/easy-digital-downloads/assets/icon.svg?rev=3455837) * [Easy Digital Downloads – eCommerce Payments and Subscriptions made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-digital-downloads/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-digital-downloads/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-digital-downloads/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-digital-downloads/reviews/) ## Tags * [EDD](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/edd/) * [function](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/function/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Sho-Down](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sho-down/) * Last activity: [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customer-since-code-function-that-outputs-the-date/#post-16165228) * Status: resolved
