Code Pack: How to deal with Before Render

Topic

Hello,

just bought the Code Pack. - May I do something like this:

I do have a List & Search Type seb_table view. - In one row I do have a value I like to manipulate just before it gets rendered, i. e. the Article Title.

I defined a Before Render Field with some simple code added to the textarea: $fields['art_title']->value = 'test';

I do have another Field another Field in the table layout to show the Article Title. -

I can see the Article Title - but no manipulated string.

What am I missing? - Is this approach the best to choose to manipulate fields before render them to a table?

Thanks for any hint.

Hi zwergo,

thanks for the example code.
My before render seems not to do anything. :-(

Right now I do understand the Before Render like this:

In the textarea: This is for PHP code. No <?php ?> necessary.
I may access a fiels value by using $fields['one']->value
I may overwrite it by using $fields['one']->value = $newvalue
If the original value get used to render the page it uses the overwritten one

It seems not to be correct. What is wrong? Is there any documentation?

Of course I tried to HTML overwrite the seb_table. But this seems not to be possible link

Is this possible with Code Pack, anyways:

--> Manipulate a field before output it in seb_table list view template?

Thanks for any hint.

Kind regards,

Bernhard

Hi Zwergo,

thanks for coming back onto this: No, no output - nowhere on th Lists & Searches Type. It very limited to style the lists, anyways?!
No HTML overwrite and no way to modify it with Code Pack, is this right?

Hi Zwergo,

thanks for the hint. - I saw it the other day and used it for my Yootheme Widgetkit Slideshow. I used in in an Forms & Content Type overwrite.

Let me know if you someday managed to use Codepack on a Lists & Search Type successfully.

Best
