New field in email

Question

I have added a new field in the order process called desired_deliver_date.

I can get the value of this field into the email by putting

 {{var order.getDesiredDeliveryDate()}}

However the date format is YYYY-mm-dd

Can someone advise whats the best way to format the date so its dd/mm/YYYY ?

Answer 1

Add to the order object real function getDesiredDeliveryDate that will format the date. Like

public function getDesiredDeliveryDate($format)
{
    return Mage::helper('core')->formatDate($this->getDesiredDeliveryDate(), $format, true);
}
