Other Articles Anywhere questions

Hello Peter,
I am using Articles Anywhere to pull the birthday data from a custom field and I would like to perform a calculation so that it shows the age of the person in the article. My question is, if this is something I can accomplish with Articles Anywhere alone?
Thanks!

No, Articles Anywhere doesn't support that level of calculations.
You would have to do that via PHP, for instance via Sourcerer.

I am trying the following, but it is not pulling the value from the custom field.
The custom field being date-of-birth
What am I missing?

Please try the latest development version from:
regularlabs.com/development-releases
You can then disable the protection inside Sourcerer tags in the Articles Anywhere system plugin settings (under Advanced tab).
This should also work:
PS: Make sure the Sourcerer system plugin is ordered after Articles Anywhere.

Thank You Peter!
I uploaded the developer version, but I do not see any new option to disable the protection. See below images.

I also tried your code suggestion, but it doesn't work.

That setting is in Articles Anywhere, not Sourcerer.

Ok, great 🙂
The new setting will be included in the next release.

This should also work:
{article}{source}<?php echo date("Y")-[date-field format="Y"]-( date("nd") < [date-field format="nd"] ? 1 : 0 ); ?>{/source}{/article}PS: Make sure the Sourcerer system plugin is ordered after Articles Anywhere.
