TYPO3 Core

This problem happens not only in this IRRE situation, but on any call which needs the label for a table that has a datetime/date field specified as the label/label_alt for it (e.g. list-view). Will be fixed

timestamps in the BE

In some versions of TYPO3 (e.g. 4.0.5) the title in the List-view rendered through t3lib_BEfunc::getProcessedValueExtra instead of t3lib_BEfunc::getRecordTitle - the result was correct date/datetime-formats.

Now (TYPO3 4.1) titles and labels rendered through t3lib_BEfunc::getRecordTitle. The following lines check the date/datetime fields via TCA and convert the timestamps to a readable format.

class.t3lib_befunc.php

@ -1849,6 +1849,11 @
$t=implode(', ',$tA);
}
}
+
+ // label based on a Field type: date, datetime
+ if ($TCA[$table]['columns'][$TCA[$table]['ctrl']['label']]['config']['eval']=='date' || $TCA[$table]['columns'][$TCA[$table]['ctrl']['label']]['config']['eval']=='datetime') {
+ $t = t3lib_BEfunc::datetime($t);
+ }
}

// If the current result is empty, set it to '[No title]' (localized) and prepare for output if requested

Hi, how are things going with this bug? It doesn't appear anything has happened for nearly five months.
Thanks, David.

@David,

the processing of labels through t3lib_BEfunc::getProcessedValue also for timestamps has been in core for a while now, but I guess it hasn't been commited to TYPO3 4.1, which is why it is probably buggy there.

See bug #17332.

It has been commited to trunk some months ago (2007-11-15 Ingmar Schlecht), so it is in the latest 4.2beta. Please check out if it works there. If it doesn't, then it is probably something IRRE-related.

is that really solved?

I had this issue today where i used crdate as label. Output was timestamp, so i had to do a trick for display it as date:

'type' => 'input',
'eval' => 'datetime'

There is no type 'timestamp', field is int(11) so we need an additional info that this is a timestamp, or allow eval for more types

@Steffen: "eval" is what decides upon how the stored data is displayed. If "datetime" is what you want, it is ok like you have it.

So was there an issue with that or not?

@Ernesto: the eval is also used for display in t3lib_befunc::getRecordTitle

But i know my solution is dirty. So is there any "official" way to use eg crdate as label showing it as datetime?

(May be display should differ from store, the only way i know is to use userfunc with label)

Why is it "dirty"? I think your solution is the right way to do it. Or have I misunderstood something?

ok, i forgot that saving is ok too as datetime always saved as timestamp.

So it's fine with me, but may be it should documented explicit as i see such question very often in forum.

Hi,

this is now working in TYPO3 4.2.6, so perhaps it should be considered fixed and closed now?

Thanks!
