The goal is to create a global variable that allows the user to specify how they would like to format the date/time for entries. I'd like to remove the hardcoded format shown here:
{{ entry.postDate|date('Y.d.m') }}
And replace it with something like this:
{{ entry.postDate|date('{{ global__siteMetadata.gv__articleDateFormat }}') }}
The user would add "Y.d.m" or any other PHP date format they like through the global field in the CMS. But when I use this, I get the following output:
{{ 1THURSDAY2019PMTHURSDAY__001631AMERICA/CHICAGOMARAMERICA/CHICAGO31PM21PM31PM.1CT__PMTHU, 21 MAR 2019 13:16:00 -050031162019-03-21T13:16:00-05:00THURSDAYAMERICA/CHICAGOTHUPM31AMERICA/CHICAGOMARCH2019THU, 21 MAR 2019 13:16:00 -050003PM31 }}
Obviously, the global variable is not being parsed. Any thoughts on how to make this happen?
