I have a date/time field that I don't want to display; it's for Views logic only. So I set it to Hidden in the content type's display settings.

Now for every one of these nodes on the page, I get an error:

Notice: Undefined index: format_type in tpl_field_vars_datetime_fieldvalue() (line 494 of sites/all/modules/tpl_field_vars/tpl_field_vars.module).

It's easy enough to set the field to displayed and then just not output it in the template, of course. Just passing this along.

I just realized that it's not only when the field is hidden; it also happens when the field is shown, but the format is set to Plain.

I'm having problems with this too. It just clutters up the log since users often like to hide fields and I don't want to have to monitor that.

I think just setting $date_format variable to an empty string if no format type is found would be fine. The format method in DateTime http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php ignores empty strings so this change should be fine.
