Difference between two dates in field group

3 years 6 months ago #320650 by ericmuc
Hi,
I need following:
Startdate - Enddate (Duration in years, months)

I have two cases
1) startdate - up to now (Duration in years, months)
2) startdate - enddate (Duration in years, months)

This both cases occur in a field group.

Can you give me sample, so that I can implement this? I found many suggestions in the internet, but need to know the best sample for cb joomla.

And further on I don't know how to handle that within a field group.

Thanks a lot, best regards
Eric

Use the parameters under Display to control the display of field groups. Specifically the "Custom Display Rows" parameter. It even supports template based output and custom templating if you'd prefer to style the display using a template. Both profile display and edit display can be changed in that tab. Please be sure to read parameter descriptions carefully as it explains how to properly substitute in those fields.

If you're trying to substitute those fields outside of the field group it gets a bit more tricky, but is doable. See the below on how to do this.

Hi,
Thanks, I am working already with the Custom Display Rows, but can I make substractions with two fields and date format in that output?
Best regards
Eric

Ah, thought you wanted to just display them side by side. Sorry, misunderstood what you're asking. Believe only way you can do that is use a code field inside your field groups field then handle the math operations there. The substitutions for those fields values (e.g. [cb_startdate]) should work fine as long as the code field is inside of the field group field. You'll need to write the necessary PHP to handle your math operations though.

Hi,
Thanks, ok, I will do this.

Further question to the topic "Custom Display Rows" of this thread:

I have 2 fields:
1) Company Name
2) Company URL

I want to have the output: <a href="company_url">Company Name</a>

I tried some code but it don't works.

What I have to use to achieve this in "Custom Display Rows"?

Thanks, best regards
Eric

Solved with:
<a href="[cb:userdata field="cb_cv_company_url" /]" target="_blank">[value]</a>
in the output field of the company field
