I have asked a similar question in the past but still have issues...
I am therefore placing the whole function here.
Can anyone tell me how to change the format that the date is output?
Currently it shows 20130731
I want it to show 31st July 2013
function le_detail() {
?>
<div class="event">
<!--Standard WP - use 'echo' -->
<h2 class="button"> <?php echo get_the_title(); ?> </h2>
<!-- ACF - NO 'echo' -->
<h3><?php the_field('where'); ?></h3>
<h3><?php the_field('when'); ?></h3>
<p><?php the_field('description'); ?></p>
<p>Chairman: <?php the_field('chairman'); ?></p>
</div>
<?php
}
The date is the line: (this is using the Advanced Customs Fields plugin)
<h3><?php the_field('when'); ?></h3>
Yes, I had this same problem until I tried it this way:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('my_datefield'));
//use your field name
then...
<li>Ticket Date: <?php echo $date->format('d M, Y'); ?> </li>
Good Luck!
ACF plugin is having get_field('') function to get the value of the custom field. Since you have used 'when' as the field name, so do as follows:
<h3><?php echo date("dS F,Y",strtotime(get_field('when'))); ?></h3>
Use the above code snippet, that will solve your problem.

I have some code and I'm trying to add a line-break, than the date. In the current code it shows the date than the title on the same line.
Can someone help?
<div class="post-title">
<?php the_title('<div class="entry-title title-h4">', '</span></div>'); ?>
</div>
All help is appreciated! The date and text line is at the end of the code block.
Edit: I have managed to reverse the data successfully, but the date is no longer styled properly and doesn't follow the correct style. How do I move the date and keep it styled? Here's the code I ended up with:
<div class="post-title">
<?php the_title('<div class="entry-title title-h4">', '</span></div>'.(!$params['hide_date'] ? get_the_date('d M').': ' : '')); ?>
</div>
Edit 2:
I've gotten a little further. I successfully placed the date at the end of the text and kept it styled. But I'd like to have it under the title, I want to add a line-break. Anyone? Here's the code I ended up with:
<div class="post-title">
<?php the_title('<div class="entry-title title-h4">', '</span>'.(!$params['hide_date'] ? get_the_date('d M').' ' : '').'</div>'); ?>
</div>
I figured it all out by myself. Figured I'd post the answer here in-case someone needed this someday.
<div class="post-title">
<?php the_title('<div class="entry-title title-h4">', '</span>'.'<br>'.(!$params['hide_date'] ? get_the_date('d M').' ' : '').'</div>'); ?>
</div>
I am creating a form using Cake PHP. Is there any way to retrieve the basic HTML of the created form. For example,if we use Form Helper, we can create form using PHP itself. But now, I need only the html part of the created form for other use. Is it possible to retrieve it??
For example, say if I give input form like,
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
I need output like this
<form action="index.html">
<input type="email" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
I can even create seperate function for attaining this objective. But I would like to know, if there is any other method for achieving this output
you can store FormHelper output in a string variable
<?php
$html_string = '';
$html_string .= $this->Form->create('User');
$html_string .= $this->Form->input('email');
$html_string .= $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
and then use your string elsewhere. But I'm not sure this is what you're searching for.
If I understand the question correctly, you want to use the form you created on another part of your site?
If that is the case, I would put the form itself in an Element and then call the Element wherever I wanted the form.
View/Elements/form.ctp
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
Then in any view on your site you can call the Element using:
<?php echo $this->element('form');?>
and thanks in advance for your help. I'm using Simplepie to try to bring this feed:
http://www.p2rx.org/webservices/rssNews.cfm?Type=Tribal&getall=true
into this page:
http://www.tribalp2.org/events/news.php
As you can see, it isn't working. Although many other feed urls I've entered into:
$feed->set_feed_url('http://www.p2rx.org/webservices/rssNews.cfm');
work just fine. I've added
$feed->force_feed(true);
as well. What might the problem be? The full code is:
<?php
require_once('../php/autoloader.php');
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url('http://www.p2rx.org/webservices/rssNews.cfm?Type=Tribal&getall=true');
$feed->force_feed(true);
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();
?>
<?php foreach ($feed->get_items(0,30) as $item): ?>
<div class="item">
<h4><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?> - <?php echo $item->get_date('F j, Y'); ?></h4>
<p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php unset($feed); ?>
Thanks.
SimplePie can not display all feeds. There are crap feeds that do not follow the standards and even if you try to force it, SimplePie can not decipher them. However checking http://validator.w3.org/feed/ your feed validates.
Try not forcing feed, also try calling force feed after init. If the feed validates SimplePie should handle it.
I'm working on magento and I want the categories that appear on left to be appeared on right side. I tried many tutorial, but didnt get it. Please help me on this. I'm new to magento. Thanks.
To add categories into the sidebar firstly go to:
app/design/frontend/default/YOURTHEME/template/catalog/navigation
and create a .phtml file, for example: left-nav.phtml
In left-nav.phtml put this:
<div class="category-nav">
<div class="block-content">
<p class="block-subtitle"><?php echo $this->__('Categories') ?></p>
<ul id="nav_category" class="nav_category">
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories(true) as $_category): ?>
<?php echo $this->drawItem($_category) ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
This just loops through all the enabled categories and outputs them into a list.
Now you need to link up the list so firstly go into /public_html/app/design/frontend/default/sbs/layout/page.xml
Find the bit for 2columns-left, or right if you want it to output on the right. In the layout you are using find:
<block type="core/text_list" name="left" as="left" translate="label">
Inside the block add a line of code like this:
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="category.listing" as="left_nav" before="-" template="catalog/navigation/left_nav.phtml" />
The before=”-“ just adds it before everything else.
Finally go into:
/public_html/app/design/frontend/default/YOURTHEME/template/page/2columns-left.phtml and add:
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('left_nav') ?>
Note:
You will need to clean the cache for this to work.
I have written a more in depth answer on my website http://brideo.co.uk/moving-categories-to-left-collumn-magento/
Zend newbie here ... And just to make it better, my mission is to build on top of someone else's pre-existing Zend site.
(BTW: zf show version --> Zend Framework Version: 1.11.1 -- I seem to have Zend_Form).
Here's the curious bit. All the forms are built in HTML within views. They seem to work, although I can't figure out how -- especially given what I am seeing.
I followed the convention and created a view for a test form and wrote the form:
<form action="<?php echo $this->url(array('controller'=>'ControllerName','action'=>'submit'));?>" method="post" style="margin-left:20px">
<p class="bold setmgr">Your email here:</p>
<div class="field">
<input class="text" type="text name="custEmail"/>
</div>
<div class="field">
<input class="button" value="Submit and be free!" type="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
The submitAction member in the controller is firing correctly. No problem.
But ALL the places I could look for the POST data appear to be empty!
echo "obj custEmail = [" . $this->_request->getPost('custEmail') . "]\n";
echo "GET custEmail = [" . $_GET['custEmail'] . "]\n";
echo "POST custEmail = [" . $_POST['custEmail'] . "]\n";
if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
$data = $this->_request->getPost();
Zend_Debug::dump($data);
}
They all produce nothing.
I'd be much obliged for a solution or even a clue about what is going wrong.
Thanks for reading.
Your form is not in the correct format.As it's PHP you can use form like this or you can even generate a ZEND_FORM(which is profound way to do it).It's always a good practise to work around with ZEND_FORM.If you still want to use this and the go by your way,here is th snippet I modified for you.
I am modifying the Code for you.Your View should have this form in it;
<form action="" method="post" style="margin-left:20px">
<p class="bold setmgr">Your email here:</p>
<div class="field">
<input class="text" type="text" name="custEmail"/>
</div>
<div class="field">
<input class="button" value="Submit and be free!" type="submit" name="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
<?php
echo $this->custEmail;
?>
Now write the following one on your ACTIOn,i.e. submitAction;
public function submitAction()
{
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost())
{
$custEmail = $this->getRequest()->getPost('custEmail');
echo $custEmail;
$this->view->custEmail = $custEmail;
}
}
Now check if it works for you or not.
Create a form using Zend_Form. When ZF already has a way to create forms, you should use that. Your method is like a hack and is not a recommended way to do things.
