Hi, I have same problem as here: http://drupal.org/node/1021466#comment-4766902 Callbacks are only used by wrappers<http://drupal.org/node/1021466#comment-4766902> Posted by JvE <http://drupal.org/user/892998> on *July 22, 2011 at 10:18am* Note that the "getter callback" and "setter callback" functions are *only*used by Entity metadata wrappers. Not by entity_load or Views and such. You can not use these to convert a different timestamp format in a database to a timestamp for use with the 'date' type unless you specifically create a wrapper for each of your entity instances. I tried to get my (int)yyyymmdd values from the database to show up in Views as dates and mistakenly thought I could use the "getter callback" for the transformation. Example of when callback is and is not used: <?php $entity = entity_load('myentity', array(1)); print $entity->day; // this gives 20110721 (from the database) $item = entity_metadata_wrapper('myentity', $entity); print $item->day->value(); // this gives 1311206400 (from the "getter callback") ?> In Views my day shows up as "08/21/1970 - 19:18" ... so if someone can point me in the right direction to get my "days" as timestamps, I'm all ears. How can i use "getter callback" to convert field from database stored as 'date' to timestamp for using for view? Or is there other way how to achieve this goal?
