Dates are coming up blank in Views

Same problem here.

> Looking to create a calendar with the date inputs from a webform.

Then you need webform's views support, not this module.

My date fields come empty from any table (i dont use webform views)

Same problem here.
If the type is datetime then blanks. When INT it works fine.

Have you set up the correct Views field handler for your data entity?

Yes, in the view it is reconized as a date field (i can set the formats).
However, the output is blank.
When the field is an int (like node created), it works fine.

It could be the underlying format in your table isn't compatible with the handler.

Can you debug in the handler class to see what's going wrong?

the table field is of the datetime in Mysql.
I will try to debug.

Here is my test case:
Test table definition

CREATE TABLE `date_test2` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `mysql_date` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `mysql_datetime` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `mysql_timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `unixtimestamp` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4

Attached the view definition and screenshots of the settings.

When debugging views_handler_field_date->render the values are never converted to timestamp (except for timestamp field). The call format_date($value, $format, '', $timezone) will return blank consequently.

I hope this helps.

What should be converting them to a timestamp? Does views_handler_field_date expect a timestamp?

Please bear in mind that it's been years since I worked on this code, and I don't have enough free time to set up an instance and debug it. You should use Devel module to debug the code to figure out why things aren't behaving as they should.
