Please help solve the problem. The following fields are available: Author, Title, Creation Date. How to output these fields to a text string, for example, in the following form: "Author // Title - Creation Date". Thanks a lot.

you could do this:

Have two of the three fields in hidden or clear position (try both, see what happens).

The other field gets rendered in template with html typo applied.

The html typo would be $cck->getValue(“art_author”) // $cck->getValue(“art_title”) - $cck->getValue(“art_creationdate”)


double check the field names ;)

Good day. For some reason it doesn’t work! I tried it differently - it does not work. In addition, I also made the fourth field, in which I output the three indicated fields. I created the fourth field as Form-> Text. "I tried to display any text in HTML, for example <hr> or <p></p> ..... It doesn’t work. Most likely I'm setting something up wrong.

Yeah sounds weird

you in content view / list view, or a form view?

maybe some quality screenshots (ie zoomed in so they are readable etc)

Thanks for your help. Everything worked out. The problem was that in the fourth field there should be some value, which is then rewritten with the code from the HTML. I made this field hidden and set the default value - the result was what I wanted to have.

I have a few more questions:

  1. When I try to insert the Publish Date, the value has format: YEAR-MONTH-DAY HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS. Is it possible in some way to show only YEAR?
  2. If I have a drop-down field, when I use the following function, the item id is returned, but not its contents. How can I display the content, rather than id?

Ah the defaultvalue gotcha ;)

re .1

apply the typo you require on date field, then use $cck->getTypo(‘my_field’);

2

1. I already use a field "date" in format Y-M-D on the page, I need to duplicate the field "date", but in another format: Y. Any ideas?

2. This question is closed. If you want to show the text of dropdown list you should use $cck->getText(‘my_field’); instead of $cck->getValue(‘my_field’);

2: yeah sorry, I thought you meant show in the select itself

1:I would create another field with the same storage, and apply date typo

How can I do this? I'm trying, but nothing works...

00 - a have a field called "date" with storage "date". I have values from this field. 

01 - I created a new field "created year" with storage "date"

I think, that "created year" must have values from "date", but it doesn't work...

In your content or list/item views you can do 2/typo

The date typo (maybe have to install plugin) allows you to apply date format. can do custom as well - if adding html to custom prefix each character with / or \ (can’t remember which).
