Fuel page Variables

olalekan

I have this website running on fuel, I have several opt-in controllers, i want them to carry individual page variables. Following what is here http://docs.getfuelcms.com/general/opt-in-controllers, i did all but viewing the page in the browser shows this

[meta name="keywords" content="<!-html comment--__FUEL_MARKER__0-->companies, hiring now"]
[meta name="description" content="[<!-html comment--]__FUEL_MARKER__1-->Companies hiring on graduate career"]
[title] <!-html comment-__FUEL_MARKER__4-->Companies : My Website [/title]

I have rewritten the HTML code because the post editor converts it to html and they don't show.
Please how do i fix this.

Thanks for your regular support

The FUEL_MARKER code usually stays on the screen if there is some sort of PHP error that stop execution of the page. Are you seeing any PHP errors? Those markers get cleaned up in the Fuel_pages.php file upon rendering unless there is an error.

There is no error on the page

admin

Are you logged into the CMS when viewing the page? If not, I would try logging into the CMS and clearing the pages cache in case the page was viewed at some point when there were errors and it was compiled and cached.

If that doesn't work, are there any function calls or variables being embedded in your views, header or footer that may not be defined?

olalekan

I have tried both options, clearing page cache and also checking to see that no error is on the page. Please alternatively how do i solve this problem.

Secondly i have a list of name to be exported out of a database, i set the module to be exportable which does that right, Now i want a filter say, should only export people that registered between jan1-feb1

Will be looking forward to hear from you ASAP

Thanks for your regular support

Please am still expecting your reply on the above discussion thread. Thanks

Does your list view (the view that has the button to export the data) have filters on it to just display people between that date? If not, you can try adding the following to your module's config in MY_fuel_modules.php:
$modules['my_module']['filters'] = array( 'registered_date_from' => array('type' => 'date'), 'registered_date_to' => array('type' => 'date') ); $modules['my_module']['advanced_search'] = TRUE;
Note that if you provide the suffixes on your field names of "_from", "_fromequal", "_to", "_toequal", "equal" it will use comparison operators (e.g. >, >=, <, <=, . Additionally, note the 'advanced_search' parameter.

This parameter will simply add a clickable arrow in the search field that tucks your filtering away and doesn't clutter up the UI.

Thanks so much for your response,
Well i have tried the above code..only if am not placing it well,

'exportable' => TRUE,
'filter' => array('date_added' => array('type' => 'datetime'), 'date_added' => array('type' => 'datetime')),
'displayonly' => TRUE,
'advanced_search' => TRUE,

admin

Try adding "_from" and "_to" like so:
'filters' => array('date_added_from' => array('type' => 'datetime'), 'date_added_to' => array('type' => 'datetime')),

Thanks for your response, i have tried this too, i have even change the name in the database to date_added_from not working still.

Please what do i do next

admin

In the Base_module_model::list_items method (found at fuel/modules/fuel/models/base_module_model.php) there is a commented out line for $this->debug_query(); If you uncomment that, it will generate the SQL query being generated which will help debug that issue. What are you seeing in that query?

olalekan

here is what I see SELECT id, firstname, lastname, email, phone_number, account_status, date_added_from FROM (`yl_open_account`) ORDER BY `firstname` asc LIMIT 50

Thanks

admin

Are you able to see the filters in your search filtering area (the little triangle that when clicked shows the filters)?

In your model's list_items method, what does the filter property have when run:
public function list_items(....) { .... print_r($this->filters); }

Also, I wouldn't change the name of the field to date_added_from but just leave it as is.

olalekan

Ok..thanks
For the search filter, yes and when i click on the image, it brings a dropdown and displays the following

Advanced Search

Search button Close Reset Search
No form to select anything from

this is what i get from print_r($this->filters);
Array
(
[firstname] =>
)

admin

I think the problem had to do with a typo in my original response where I used "filter" as the key instead of "filters" (I've updated it above).

olalekan

Wow...Thanks so much it's working now

Array ( [firstname] => [date_added_from] => 2015-01-01 00:00:00 [date_added_to] => 2015-04-30 00:00:00 )

A bottle of bear for you

Please i want to ask a question, does Fuelcms or codeigniter have trusted host mechanism for now, I have check forums and did not find any

Thanks in advance

admin

We don't have a "trusted" host so to speak. We do deploy a lot of FUEL sites to MediaTemple and Webfaction servers though.
