• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Date element validation rule

Hello,

Can you please help me find the best way to set a validation rule where the date shouldn't be greater that "today"?

Thank's in advance.
 
Hi

This is what I use in a date element to check the date against a predefined one in another table.

PHP:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
$tour = (int)'{table___tournament_raw}';
$current = strtotime(gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
$query = "SELECT deadline FROM table WHERE id = $tour";
$db->setQuery( $query );
$dt = $db->loadResult();
$deadline = strtotime($dt);
return $deadline > $current;

I think it can help u to start or modify it to get what u want.
 
Well, thanks guys.
I need to have the today's system date and not a fixed date.

So, shall something like this would work? I've tried but all I've got is a blank page...

return $data <= CURDATE();
 
I'm not sure about timezones, nor of $data nor of date()...
If it's relevant do some var_dump
 
Well, first make sure it's an issue before trying to solve it. Dump your $data ...

var_dump($data, date('Y-m-d 00:00:00');exit;

... and see if it looks like you need to figure TZ's out.

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
