Difference between days between dates

[peppe10]

Can you make the difference between days between two date type fields?

field 1 - 01-01-2017
field 1 - 31-01-2017
field 3 - 30 day (automatic)

Thank you

You could probably use a calc element. Something like ...

$date1 =new DateTime('{yourtable___field1_raw}');
$date2 =new DateTime('{yourtable___field2_raw}');

return $date2->diff($date1)->format("%a");

use a calc element

The calc element isn't part of the core, you'll have to download it from our downloads area and install it through the normal J! plugin installer.

You can easily post the download link

Not from my phone I can't. Just go to the main site, downloads link at top of page, find the calc element plugin.

hello
I installed the plugin.
I saw in the module plugin but there is no calc.
Where do I have to place the code above posted?

Did you enable it? If it's installed and enabled, it should show up as an available element type.

(Joomla doesn't enable plugins by default when you install them, you have to manually enable them)
