display dynamic content from flexi fields... was created by matthieu33

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

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

Code:

$itemid = JRequest::getInt('id');
$datefieldid = 45;  // id of your date field

$query = "SELECT value"
 ." FROM #__flexicontent_fields_item_relations"
 ." WHERE field_id=$datefieldid AND item_id=$itemid ";
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery($query );
$datefield = $db->loadResult();

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
