glz_custom_fields

ploinkr · 2011-09-01 19:33:48

Hi, just wondering: I’m using the Date Picker for certain fields; can that be used to sort articles by the date entered (and not just numerically?) Doesn’t seem to work so far… Thanks!

Anyone…? Gerhard? Would me most grateful…
Thanks,
B.

Try this way:
Plugins > glz_cf > Options <click> Date Picker > Date format > yyyy-mm-dd

That’s the only way I see offhand.

Thanks so much Uli, going to try that (seems obvious now!)

- yep, working – thanks a lot! :-)

I am faced with the same requirement to sort by the glz_cf Date picker date and can use the yyyy-mm-dd format to select the date but I also want to display the date in the article in the dd-mm-yyyy format. The only way I can see of doing that is to have two date fields, one in each format. Is there a better way?

Hmmm …

aam_split_cf and sed_packed_custom_fields come to mind.

Easier still: use the “yyyy-mm-dd” format for sorting and a php snippet to display it in another format. Something like:

<txp:php>
  $orig_date = custom_field(array('name'=>'custom-field-name'));
  echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime($orig_date));
</txp:php>

Further information about php date formats here.

Ausgezeichnet, Jakob! Works like a charm.

Jakob Nice snippet. Filed for future use in my open Textpattern library

Maybe also good to add as example to the custom field documentation. Or another place where we collect txp:php snippets!?

ploinkr · 2011-09-08 16:42:53

Ok, put it in textpattern.js – seems to be working :-)

Newbie question again… :-/
Where would I put the script to hide the extra Body textarea?
Many thanks,
Ben.

@Ploinkr: I have bot_wtc, and I used that to insert the script.

Thank you John – I didn’t know about that plugin, will check it out :-)

I’ve reported a bug:
on multi-select, if last option is checked, then first (empty) option gets checked on reload (and some related thoughts on single selects, multi-selects and having a first empty option)

A quick summary of the bug: if user selects the last option in the multi-select, and saves the article, then, on page reload, this first empty option is also selected. Problem is, if the user saves the article again, without noticing this, both the empty option and the last option get saved into the database.

This affects v1.2.4 and v1.3.0, and find it a bit rare that it went under the radar till now.
Can anyone confirm you can replicate this bug on your installs?

I’ve provided a possible fix.

Yup, confirmed (1.3.0). And discovered that a multiselect doesn’t accept 0 as a value ;) (No complaint, Gerhard, happens probably only on a bugchase)

(Edited to add version)

Hi Uli. Thanks for confirming the bug.

And discovered that a multiselect doesn’t accept 0 as a value.

Not sure if I understood. As value for which parameter?
