How do I present text in a date/ time field displaying only the date, or - right 8 characters?
Thanks,

Skuid uses the JQuery date control (see http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/) and you can create a custom date formatting. Here is an example inline snippet:
var $ = skuid.$; var field = arguments[0]; var value = arguments[1]; var jsdate = new Date(); //use skuid util to change SF date to JS date jsdate = skuid.time.parseSFDate(value); //uses jQuery UI Datepicker.formatDate tools skuid.ui.fieldRenderers.TEXT[field.mode](field, $.datepicker.formatDate( "mm/dd/yy", jsdate));
The key text is in the last line. $.datepicker.formatDate( XXX , jsdate ) Use the Datepicker documentation linked above to find other options for formatting dates.
You can do similar things with strings, manipulating them so only certain sections of the string show.
