Change date format

Question

I am wondering how to format dates so that:

When the start and end date are in the same month, that the start and end date is displayed like 1 - 2 March 2015

When the start and end date are in different months display dates like 12 March - 4 June 2015

When the start and end date are in different years display the dates like 12 June 2015 - 4 June 2016

Any help will be highly appreciated Thanks

I have created a view that uses an Event content type that has a start and end date. — Ryan VDB

Different date formats for a single view with multiple attachments. But it really depends on your exact needs. — designarti

my preferred solution is to do it manually

1- install and enable views php module

2- add the start date and end date fields to the view but without display them

3- add the php global field after the date fields and write some little php code can achieve your target

In case anybody stumbles on this in future:

The date range formatter module does smart combination of start and end dates and allows for a wide range of formatting flexibility.
