Is it possible to change the date?

[bachblick]

It would be perfect, if the fe_user could set the date of the news record. The Time is not necessary, we use the extensions as a calendar. Thank you for your extension.

I tried somethling like this in FormFields.html :

Which field are you trying to use?

The field datetime can't be set in the form out of the box, since this field is set in the controller to the creation date of the record. If you want to use this field, you can use the SignalSlot createActionBeforeSave (see documentation) in order to overwrite the value with something you provide through the form.

Hi Chris

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this is to complicated for my TYPO3 expertise :-(

Is it a possibility that I pay you for this work and you add it to the extension?

I wrote this in ‘FormFields.html’

Hey Reto,

please find attached a small extension, which does the job. Just uncompress it and install it in your TYPO3 instance. After clearing the cache, the value from your above posted form field will be considered.

Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers chris

PS: No need for a payment. Maybe you can contribute in other places to Open Source :-)

[cdaecke]

Oops, wrong attachment. Use this one: md_newsfrontend_extended.zip

Hey Chris

Thank you very much. I can’t save the record because of the error message for the date. See screenshot. I allready tried to change the dateformat in ModifyNews.php without success.

Please post the screenshot or the error message :-)

[cdaecke]

Hm, the second message has nothing to do with the small extension I have sent. Does the warning disappear as soon as you disable the extension md_newsfrontend_extended?

And the first message: does it disappear as soon as you disable the extension md_newsfrontend_extended?

Are you sure, that you have installed this version of the extension?

[bachblick]

Yep, and to be sure, I installed it again with your last link. The error remains 'The date "..." was not recognized. It works, when I leave the datefield empty.

[bachblick]

Mayby I did something wrong with the installing? I loaded the folder with ftp in > typo3conf > ext and then activated it in the backend.

[cdaecke]

No, that sounds all good, nothing else to do.

For further debugging, please replace the file content of Classes/Slot/ModifyNews.php with the following code and paste the result here when you create a new news entry in the frontend.

<?php
namespace Mediadreams\MdNewsfrontendExtended\Slot;

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility;

/**
 *
 * Modify news record
 */
class ModifyNews
{
    /**
     * Use form value of field datetime for news record
     *
     * @param object $news The news object
     * @param object $obj The controller object
     * @return void
     */
    public function setDatetime($news, $obj) {
        $data = GeneralUtility::_GP('tx_mdnewsfrontend_newsfe');
        \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\DebuggerUtility::var_dump($data['newNews']);
        $datetime = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d.m.Y', $data['newNews']['datetime']);
        \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\DebuggerUtility::var_dump($datetime);

        if ($datetime instanceof \DateTime) {
            $news->setDatetime($datetime);
        }

        exit;
    }
}

Thanks, but still the same error message. Maybe this can help? https://github.com/froemken/typo3-extbase-guide/blob/master/Documentation/Fluid/BestPractice/FormsWithDateTimeObjects.rst

[cdaecke]

Whoops, my fault, I am sorry! This can't work, because the validation of the data happens before the signal slot takes effect...

I will update and release a new version of the extension and let you know, as soon as it is done (hopefully this weekend).

[cdaecke]

Ok, the current master of the extension md_newsfrontend should now realy do the job. You don't need the little extension md_newsfrontend_extended anymore.

You are able to configure the format for datetime by changing the constant plugin.tx_mdnewsfrontend_newsfe.settings.formatDatetime. Default value is d.m.Y H:i which translates to DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM.

Are you able to test it and verify that it is working for you?

[bachblick]

Sorry, but I still have the same error. 'The date "17.11.2019" was not recognized for format "d.m.Y H:i"' What I did: Disable the extended extension Replace all files of the extension md_newsfrontend Write the Date form-group in 'FormFields.html' Clear all caches

[cdaecke]

Please change the constant „ plugin.tx_mdnewsfrontend_newsfe.settings.formatDatetime“ to „d.m.Y“ and clear the cache.

[bachblick]

PERFECT - thank you very much!

[cdaecke]

A new version of the extension is published.
