presentation and ... asking for a help

[xavier]

Hello everybody,

I consider myself less than a newbie, I have entered in processwire world after a recommendation and instantly I liked it very much specially the way to to add information to the web and get easily pages from a dataset. Before, I had to add every page, every link manually.

I do not know almost anything of programming, I took an existing webpage, from an informatics course, and I am adapting it to my interests (you can visit it at http://www.bpod.cat). I know that it has something wrong because it is not as fast as I like but this is not the main problem now.

The problem is that I would like to filter the files by date. Every day has a new file and may sometimes we add files previous to the present day. I would like that the system could filter files by date and showed, automatically, only files from present day to the past.

The script I use is:

<script>
app.controller('FotosCtrl',function($scope,$http,pw){
	$scope.busca = function(){
		pw.busca('template=foto, title|comentari~='+$scope.termino).then(function(data){
		console.log("ENCONTRADOS",data);
		$scope.encontrados=data;
		$scope.termino='';
	});
}

$scope.buscaFotos= function(fotos){
	pw.busca(fotos).then(function(data){
		$scope.encontrados=data;
		console.log("todos",data)	
	});
}

$scope.buscaFotos('template=foto,sort=-any, sort=-mes, limit=1, sort=-ordre, ');
$scope.page=<?php echo $page->toJSON() ?>;
console.log("PAGINA", $scope.page);
});

</script>

And then, for instance, to select some files I use this sentence:

<a href ng-click="buscaFotos('template=foto,any=2017,mes=01,sort=ordre')">Gener</a>

But, I can't filter the files automatically by date (to show only present day and before).

 

I have searched in this forum some questions about date filtering and I do not know how to introduce the changes or have use it wrongly.

Addtionally, I have introduced some date fields, one without data (date) (to be always present day) and other with the proper day (datefixa) but I also do not know how to comparare each other to get a valid result.

I hope this question it is not out of range and someone could help me.

Have a nice day.

Xavier

Hi @xavier, welcome to the ProcessWire forums.

The code you have posted looks like AngularJS - I'm not sure this is the right place to get support for that.

If you are just getting started I suggest you use straight PHP and HTML for your first ProcessWire project and leave AngularJS until you are more familiar with ProcessWire. That way it will be easier for people to help you here in the PW forums.

One thing I notice is that this looks like an incorrect mix of the PW PHP $page variable and the JS toJSON() method.

We also don't have any info about what pw.busca() does. I know its a search, but it would be good to see some code.

I have used Angular and PW together a lot, so I might be able to help here, but I honestly don't know exactly what isn't working yet.

First  of all, thank you four your replies.

I do not discharge change the code if necessary. It is a matter of calculate the time necessary
to change in one way or in another (I can't).

The web works ok, so I think that sentence it is also correct. May be it is not the best, but it works.

What it is done in the web? Files are included in the template 'foto' which is child of the template 'fotos'. 
So files are searched according to the month and year, addtionally the user can navigate up or down, 
by an order stablished in the field 'ordre'.

What it is wrong? I do not know how to add and scope, formula or what else in order to select, permanent and automatically 
files by date (using a date field or whatelse needed).

You are right, it is a search. However I am not sure which code is used in that function.

The following code is present in the module hanna-code and in file named pwangular.php:

<?php
header("Content-type: application/json");

	$request = file_get_contents('php://input');
	$data = json_decode($request,true);
	$query = $data["query"];

	// $selector = wire("sanitizer")->text($selector);
	try {
		$paginas = wire('pages')->find($query)->toJSON();
	} catch (Exception $e) {
		echo ("Check that sent fields and that of the DB are the same kind INT, TEXT, DATE...")
;
	}
		
	echo $paginas; return;

In the code of the first message, the word 'busca' means 'search. 'ENCONTRADOS' means 'found'. 'todos' means 'all'. May be this helps.

 

 

Thank you very much for your attention.

@xavier - if you really don't know anything about programming then I have to agree with @Robin S - an AngularJS based site is not the place to start - there is so much more to consider. You need to figure out if your PW selector is getting the pages you want, and then make sure they are being returned as JSON and correctly parsed and outputted via Angular.

May be both of you are right, this is probably too big for me.

Thank you very much for your time.
