Filter View for future dates

Hello,
maybe you read about now function at table manager forum, as it allows direct sql expressions. In order to use such a filter at list manager, you will need to introduce a code tweak, because your expression NOW() is being quoted, so its handled as a text (which will never match your date field). Steps:

- Place at your view the filter condition yourdatefield 'More than' NOW()
- Introduce this line:

if($values_none=="'NOW()'") $values_none='NOW()';

at joomla\components\com_listmanager\models\serverpages.php

below db quote line (about line 407), so it will read

$db->quote($values);
if($values_none=="'NOW()'") $values_none='NOW()';
$values_start=$this.........


It will execute now function as expected while keeping the rest of the text filters working as default.

Hope this helps,regards

Hello,

If you want to convert date strings to mysql dates you should use str_to_date function. Please check examples at:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_str-to-date

Maybe you should apply this function to 'v.value' in code and use now() without any conversion. Something like this:

if($values_none=="'NOW()'") $values_none='NOW()';

...

case 2: // More
if($values_none='NOW()')
$query .= " str_to_date(v.value,'%d,%m,%Y') > ".$values_none;
else
$query .= " v.value > ".$values_none;
break;



Hope this helps. Regards,
