Module: FieldtypeTime & InputfieldTime

[BFD Calendar]

Am I right that this field cannot be used in a FormBuilder form? I'm trying to make a form with a start and stop button to calculate time students spend on one of our lasercutting machines. 

[edit] In the meantime I found it. Now I just wanted to know if I can have the time 'auto fill in' in a field 'laser_start' as soon as a new form is created, like I can with a Datetime field. And also have a button or picker to enter the time in a field 'laser_stop' when I edit the page created by Formbuilder.

Another issue: the Time Format always jumps to 'Minutes (00-59) & seconds (00-59).' when I choose 'Hours (0-24), Minutes (00-59) & seconds (00-59)' upon save in the Details tab.

I'm also having this issue, which isn't letting me use the date() formatting due to this. ? Also when it does jump to that, the time selector GUI doesn't work.

@Tom. For what it's worth, this is how I solved my problem, maybe it helps you to find your solution.

// DATE CALCULATION 
	$laserdate = date('d F Y', strtotime($feature->lendout_time));
	$lasertimestart = date('H:i:s', strtotime($feature->lendout_time));
	$lasertimestop = date('H:i:s', strtotime($feature->return_time));
	$start_time = new DateTime($feature->lendout_time);
	$since_start = $start_time->diff(new DateTime($feature->return_time));
	$minutes = $since_start->h * 60;
	$minutes += $since_start->i;
	$lasertime = gmdate("H:i:s", strtotime($feature->return_time) - strtotime($feature->lendout_time));
// RESULT
	if($feature->return_time) {
	echo "<li><span class='verdana'>{$laserdate} ->  {$studentspage->title} | {$feature->machine} => <b>{$lasertimestart} -> {$lasertimestop}</b> = {$since_start->h}:{$since_start->i}:{$since_start->s} or <font color='green'><b>{$minutes} minutes - done</b></font></span>.</li>"; 
	} else {
	echo "<li><a href='{$feature->url}'><span class='verdana'>{$laserdate} ->  {$studentspage->title} | {$feature->machine} => <b>{$lasertimestart} -> <font color='red'>busy</b></font></span>.</a></li>"; 
	};

Can this module be altered to work with 12 HR instead of 24 HR?

@J_Szwarga 

Thanks for the post.

If you only need to output in 12 hour format, you can probably do it like this within your template files (untested)...

# Pull the values from our page's time field...
$timeparts = FieldtypeTime::getTimeParts($page->timefield);  # Adjust name of field as needed.

# Adjust the sign
$sign = (empty($timeparts['sign']) ? '+' : '-';

# Create a time, based on the start of today, with the offset hours, mins and seconds from the timeparts.
# See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
$time = strtotime("today $sign {$timeparts['hours']} hours {$timeparts['mins']} mins {$timeparts['secs']} secs");

# Format it for output as needed, in this case as 12hours with lowercase am/pm marker.
# See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
echo date("ga", $time);

Hi @netcarver thx for the great module!

Would you mind renaming the title of the module to "Time" only without the Fieldtype? It would make selecting it easier (I'm using the keyboard most of the time and it would be nice (and consistent) to type "time" instead of "fieldtype time").

 

Another little glitch:

The field is set to this format:

After selecting a time, the format is correct (eg 18:30), but initially it displays seconds (which is not wanted).

Thanks, try the latest version.

@netcarver - is it time to add PW 3.x to the compatibility options for this module (in the modules directory listing) ?

[Andi]

@netcarver Field is showing "PLACEHOLDER" when empty, is that intentional or is there a way to configure the placeholder value?

Also a default value option would be very, very neat. I'm running this on an event planner that has events almost always starting around the same time of day. Would that be hard to implement?

Running version 0.2.2, field is inside a repeater in this case.

Thanks a bunch!

This is the line

https://github.com/netcarver/PW-FieldtypeTime/blob/4332e922d6c8e98b64e8e6e408ad7c71e318ffff/InputfieldTime.module#L83

So for the time being, in InputfieldTime.module change line 83 to something like

$attrs['placeholder'] = "00:00";

Setting a custom placeholder (or a default value) would be useful for my site too.

It looks great!
Wanted to test but got: "This module does not indicate compatibility with this version of ProcessWire."

Is it safe to use it anyway?

I think @adrian suggestion is correct to add PW 3.x compatibility ?

[Ralf]

@netcarver
it's been two years since the last post and I wanted to politely ask if you could take another look at this module to make it PW 3.x ready?
Would be cool to have the installation without all these hints regarding incompatibility ?
Many thanks in advance
