ExData Module v2.8.0 - Tables, Lists and more…

[culda_a]

If you speak Romanian to that is great, if not i WILL TRANSLATE IT FOR YOU... IF YOU DON'T nothing against it.

[Marcel]

Exdata works perfect in my installation. The only problem is the field type "articlelink". I get

Code: Select all

[ID 3]Pegasus[/ID]

in the html output instead of a linked entry.

Can anyone help?

Sorry guys, I bet it's a studip question: I've got a category with CDs in it. Is it possible to generate a list by a RT that only out's out CDs of a certain artist - eg. all AC/DC album without the frontend user having the possibility to filter the database on his own.

I'm using 1.2.8

Thanks
Marcel

@Marcel

to use articlelink in ExData you have to:

in file include/inc_front/content.func.inc.php

the part that includes ExData in the rendering:

Code: Select all

// casa-loca's ExDataMOD
if($phpwcms["exdata_mod"]) { //enabled/disable ExData MOD
require_once ('./include/inc_module/mod_exdata/inc_front/func.inc.php');
}

place directly after this:

Code: Select all

// include external PHP script (also normal HTML snippets) or return PHP var value
if( ! ( strpos($content["all"],'PHP')===false ) ) {
	$content["all"] = render_PHPcode($content["all"]);
}

workaround to preset a filter in frontend:

setup ExData with a filterfunction (1 Filter)
when you have this running in frontend, then:
in your article place a contentpart 'plain text' directly before the ExData RT with this text:

Code: Select all

[PHP]$_POST['exd_filter1']="Belgium";[/PHP]

where 'Belgium' is your desired filtercriteria
then go to the css-definitions and add to the #exd_filter declarations:

Code: Select all

display:none;

this will hide the dropdown in frontend.
NOTE: please change the css selector from '#exd_filter1' to '#exd_filter'
this is a bug in current versions

would be good to choose in which fields the search function is looking for a given keyphrase. At the moment it's looking in all fields, but I want to limit it to a selection of one/more/all field(s).

comes with version 2.65

and another search problem: I have a filter and a search function included. If the search results in "no entries" the filter jumps to "no entries" and the user has to change the filter before he can start a new search, which is very annoying. I saw that the behaviour at the example pages [...] is different. Where can I change this behaviour?

your ExData Version#? should be fixed in 2.62 and up

Hi breitsch,
(where to get the ExData Mod Code?) forget that part of the post
And: will it be better to wait for the V 2.65?

Thanks and have a good sunday,

my version is ExData MODULE 2.63 under phpwcms 1.2.8

@2xS

it's a rather specific bug in the detailview function.
Only fails if you go to a detailview-page and return to the listing and then search the content.
Anyway, will be fixed in new version. Thanks for finding this one!

workaround:
file: mod_exdata/inc_lib/exdata.classes.frontend.php
search for (appears 4 times - originally rows 1512, 1656, 1794, 1972):

Code: Select all

               //detailview-link
                if ($det_link == $j) {
                    if (!isset($_POST['exd_filter1'])) $_POST['exd_filter1']=$navi_filterfunc[4];

directly after, add:

Code: Select all

if (!isset($_POST['filter_string'])) $_POST['filter_string']=implode(";",$navi_filterfunc);

@breitsch:
Thanx, fix seems to work.

Still looking for an answer for this question:
How can I paginate the entries in the overview by the first letter of a certain field? I don't want the <<1 2 3 4 >> but << A B C D ...>>
Any idea???

By the way: will the new version 2.65 work with phpwcms <1.3.0 or is it necessary to upgrade?

serious: not planned for the moment. will put this to my to do list for future releases.

will the new version 2.65 work with phpwcms <1.3.0 or is it necessary to upgrade?

ExData 2.65 comes for phpwcms versions 1.2.6, 1.2.8 and 1.3.0

Hi guys

By default the format in exdata for the data field is Y/m/d -> 2007/30/03. How can I change that to d.m.Y -> 30.03.2007.

Wie kann ich das Standardformat für das Datumsfeld in Exdata von 2007/30/03 auf 30.03.2007 umstellen.

Danke und Gruss
Marcel

I'm working very, very hard on it!
ExData Version 2.70 is in progress (yes 2.70 because of database changes)

actual state of work:

- XHTML-Transitional valid code [100% done]
- better template organization (low priority right now) [20% done]
- all templates editable in backend [100% done for moo.fx and private-templates]
- moo.fx update to v2 and massive enhancement of moofx in RT-Maker, options in appearance are clickable [100% done]
see (one of several) transition effect in example: http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?example_moofx
- some/much less Bugs! [well it's never really done]
- integration of LightboxJS und HighslideJS for images in ExData [100% done]
- shop function (in Beta-Version) with PayPal Website Payments Standard [60% done]will come only for ExData for phpwcms 1.3.0
- GoogleMaps: you can choose different markers for each entry now
see example: http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?googlemap [100% done]
- GoogleMaps: Maps can be displayed in PopUp windows and NEW in Lightbox overlay [100% done]
see example (click the City-Link): http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?exam ... o-template
- Date-Formatting now per category and works with all templates (auto, private, moofx) [100% done]
- completely new help-system integrated [100% done]
- install/update routine (data in one table has other structure, will be rewritten by update-file) [80% done]
- backend-languages: spanish(new), italian(update), romanian(new), german(update), bulgarian(incomplete) [?% done] not my part!

version for phpwcms 1.2.6 and 1.2.8 (without shopping cart) comes this week!
version for phpwcms 1.3.0 (with shopping cart BETA) comes next week!

I'm looking for:
- Beta-testers for the 1.3.0 version
- contributors to the new help-system. Helpfiles is a seperate website which is reached from ExData backend, so help will grow and as admin you will have access to backend to edit the articles.
- translators to other languages
