How to add year and month to Entry URL Format

Question

I'd like to make the Entry URL format of a channel look like this: /news/2015/06/my-slug-here

What would I need to enter into the Entry URL Format field in order to do this?

The closest I could manage was this:

news/{postDate|date("Y")}/{slug}

But that only outputs this: /news/2015/my-slug-here

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You're close! For the month part you need postDate|date("m") (this page has the php date formats).

news/{postDate|date("Y")}/{postDate|date("m")}/{slug}
