display dynamic content from flexi fields...

Hello,

after a brief search i wasn't able to find exactly what i wanted.

I have some fields into my flexicontent form on the backOffice.

I want to add some custom php code with for instance sorcerer to test the date field value of a field in the form.

When the content displays on the front-office, i would like to have my PHP custom code show a different content of the page related to the date (not the creation date) but a date field i added myself into the form.

So you have

Title : [your content]
Du date : [date i set manualy]
Description : [Your long content with PHP IF due date is < than today then display something.]

is it possible ? and do you know how to achieve this ?

Thank you

Well, you will need to write a custom field for this

maybe it could be done via an extra scope in universal module but we don't have it now

maybe flexicodeinsert can do it

Hello, thank you for your answers.

Right now i am using Sourcerer.

So i can insert php code inside my flexicontent fields and displays fine the PHP code.

But i want to get value from a flexicontent form :

- for instance display dynamicaly within my description field, a date that has been entered into a date field. How to grab that variable to make it show on the front office within my description field ?

I am not sure my explanation is clear.

You will need to query the table:
#__flexicontent_fields_item_relations

In the above code set the variable $datefieldid to the id of you date field, also correct any syntax errors as i have not tested this

Regards

Thank you, i will test and i get back to you to tell you the result.

Hello,

unfortunatly, your solution, inside a Flexicontent field is not working.

I have no display back on screen with that code. I have changed the field id to the right one.

[COMMENT by ggppdk : the id was meant as an example, i have asked you to change it to the correct one.]

mmm, what do you mean you have changed the datefieldid to the right one?

of course you have to change the 'datefieldid', i don't know the id of you field, that is why i have asked you to change it in the first place.

Thank you for your help.

This part is working like a charm now. I missed the point about the auto encoding as html entities of html tags from the hide/show wysiwyg joomla editor.

Now i have another thing to do and i am a bit stuck with this.

I want to access the flexi content fields from an external script. My script needs to update the description field doing an update having a test on a date field.

So it would do : If date of flexi content date field > than today, then update description field with my datas.

This part is also working. But to have things even better, i need to parse another field from the flexicontent form in order to insert the parsed data into my update... (an email in my case)

For instance my updated text (introtext) would be : "This is the updated text, presented to you by [get the value parsed from another field from the same flexicontent form]".

I really don't know how to proceed right now to get the value.

Any idea ? is it clear ? :

thank you

You mean "form field" or item field from database,
also this is beggining to become free custom development?

Best Regards
