With RebelMouse's Layout & Design Tool, it's quick and easy to change how a user's information is formatted and displayed on their profile page.

In this post, we'll go through the steps necessary to expose and customize the way a user's joined date is displayed and formatted.

How to Expose and Format a User's Joined Date

Start by opening the Layout & Design Tool, navigate to your Profile Page, add a Custom HTML element to the layout, and then open the Code view.

Next, change the source code to the following:

<jinja>
  <![CDATA[
]]>
</jinja>

Then, click Apply . Once applied, your element should change from Custom HTML to Jijna Template :

From here, you have a few choices on how you would like the information to be displayed. The first option is to paste the raw variable and print the date:

<div>{{context.site.user_site_data.created|safe}}</div>

You can also format the date using the method strftime() . This will display the calendar month and year instead of the exact date and time.

<div>{{context.site.user_site_data.created.strftime('%B %Y')|safe}}</div>

The following screenshot shows both examples being displayed at once. The first option is on top, and the second option is right below it.
