Thank you Micker,

there was also a line needed

Code:

<?php endif; ?>

just at the end after

Code:

</li>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php endfor; ?>
   </ul>

Now the page is displaying well but the condition seems not working because I can still see all the films.

My release date field is displayed in underdescription position.

I will check tonight.

Any suggestions?

What if FLEXIcontent module had
-(a) pagination and
-(b) order by custom field?

you not be able to use a category template
but
you could copy the news.php module template and shape close to your needs

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Yes but I find the module a bit slower than the blog. (it is only an impression).

But I think I am close to find the solution with the Micker proposal the only problem is the datetime and the Timezone problem. This was not present in Joomla 1.5 and FC 1.5.6.

Code:

<?php for ($i=0; $i<$leadnum; $i++) :
$enddate = $items[$i]->fields['Dfin']->display;
$enddate = new DateTime($enddate);
$enddate = $enddate->format('Ymd');
$now = date('Ymd', strtotime('+1 day'));
if( $now <= $enddate) :
?>

new DateTime($enddate); gives me an error 500 with this message:

DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (9 janvier 2013) at position 5 (v): The timezone could not be found in the database

What is the format of your date field??

- first go to the edit flexicontent field and make sure it is outputting in a acceptable format, e,g for J2.5:
(a) select custom format,
(b) with format string d/m/Y

then if you have some dates that maybe invalid

you could use :

Code:

try {
    $enddate = new DateTime($enddate);
}
catch(Exception $e) {
    // catches 'Failed to parse time string 
   $enddate = false;  // Do not use this
}

Well with the code from GGPPDK the error 500 is gone but now I have a white page with 3 articles and I lost all my website around flexicontent.

Here is a picture with part of the output code underneath.

this page looks like a PHP error occurred inside you FLEXIcontent template that is why you see a part of the page

-- enable error reporting
-- do a view page source
-- and look at the bottom of the page source

note if you enable error reporting then other PHP notices unrelated to your FLEXIcontent template may appear

Ok i Found the error that line was wrong

Code:

$enddate = $enddate->format('Ymd');

if I remove it the page display some items but in a weird way still in 4 pages but not complete some are displayed past and future so no rule.

I am a little bit lost and surely not a php programmer :oops: :lol:
