I am not sure it's a regression actually. in master it has been fixed by commit a236b684fdae8e0da83ca7263b948da971dfc849 Bug 17981: Add a preview mode for notice templates modified: C4/Letters.pm @ Letters.pm:887 @ sub _parseletter { my $values = $values_in ? { %$values_in } : {}; if ( $table eq 'borrowers' && $values->{'dateexpiry'} ){ - $values->{'dateexpiry'} = format_sqldatetime( $values->{'dateexpiry'} ); + $values->{'dateexpiry'} = output_pref({ str => $values->{dateexpiry}, dateonly => 1 }); } if ( $table eq 'reserves' && $values->{'waitingdate'} ) { On Tue, 13 Nov 2018 at 12:21 Jonathan Druart < jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org> wrote:
Hi Arturo,
I do recreate on 17.11.10, not master. Can you open a bug report? You should not need to specify the dateonly filter for dateexpiry, it's automatically truncated to only display the date part (as there is no time part!)
Regards, Jonathan

Thank you for your help, Katrin! As a follow up, I attempted to use the dateonly placeholder for our membership expiry notice, but the generated e-mails did not display as expected. In the notice, I used the following text exactly, with a space before and after the pipe character: "Your account will expire on <<borrowers.dateexpiry | dateonly>>." But the notices that were generated say: "Your account will expire on <>" (with an empty left and right angle brackets.
Our library is on Koha 17.11.10, and looking at the database schema, I see that the borrowers.dateexpiry column is "date", not "datetime", so that could be the reason why the dateonly placeholder doesn't work? But if that's the case, why is the "12:00 AM" added if the db column is a date, not a datetime?

Hi Arturo,
try adding | dateonly to your placeholder variable like this:
<< biblio.timestamp | dateonly >>
Hope this helps,

Currently, these notices display the expiration date along with a time (“Your account will expire on 12/06/2018 12:00 AM”), but is there a way to just display the date without the time? I read through the information on the wiki at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Customising_Notices_and_Slips as well as the manual, but I did not find any indication that the date format can be customized. I thought I’d check in with the list, though, to make sure I’m not missing anything.
Thanks for any input you may have!
