How to Display Only the Created/Updated Date in Drupal 11 Views (Without

 In Drupal 11, when you add the created date field in a View, you might see output like this:

<time datetime="2025-08-06T08:01:47+00:00" title="Wednesday, August 6, 2025 - 08:01" class="datetime">08/06/2025 - 08:01</time>


If you only want the plain date/time string like: 08/06/2025 - 08:01

Why Default Options Don’t Work in Drupal 11
  • Even if you check “Strip HTML tags”, the <time> element still appears.
  • Using custom formatters doesn’t fully remove the HTML.
  • This is because in Drupal 11, the DateTimeFormatter automatically wraps date output in a <time> element, by default.
Solution
Here’s how you can display just the plain date/time string:
 Steps:
  1. Go to your View in the Drupal admin.
  2. In the Fields section, edit the "Authored on / created " field.
  3. Check the box: “Rewrite results”
  4. In the "Text to display" box, enter this Twig code:
    {{ created.value|date("m/d/Y - H:i") }}   (Change the date format as needed.)
  5. Make sure “Output this field as custom text” is checked.
  6. Save the view.

Drupal Interview Questions

 How to Create a Drupal Multisite?  In multisite, I create separate folders under /sites for each domain, configure individual settings.php with separate databases, and install Drupal per site while reusing the same codebase. Ex : sites/site.domain1/settings.php         sites/site.domain2/settings.php In multisite, even though the codebase is shared, module enablement is stored in each site's configuration. So enable the module only on the required site via admin or drush, and it remains disabled on other sites because they have separate databases. Then you must maintain separate config sync folders per site . $config_directories['sync'] = '../config/site1'; In multisite, apart from settings.php, we use services.yml for service overrides, separate files directories for uploads, private file paths, and most importantly separate config sync directories to isolate configuration per site.
