jrCore_list template reference

Using Jamroom

I had this on my home page on a sitebuilder jamroom site:
It lists a random song title.

Suddenly today it began looking for the template in the skin directory and produced a template not found error on my home page. If I put the template in the skin directory, nothing is produced. Probably need to add the additional code to reference _item.

But I'm wondering why it's not looking in jrAudio for the template all of sudden.

wonder search anomaly

Using Jamroom

In my case, it appears to be an issue with enabling Full Text Search. I enabled it on another jamroom site and get the same issue. Also missing profiles with "wonder" in the title which were listing in search results before, but then not listing after enabling Full Text Search. Disabling it on the first site, brings up songs with "wonder" in the lyric and other places (which I've added as search fields).

Date drop down showing date when not entered

Design and Skin Customization

I guess I'll start over.

This is an Aparna-generated module. There is no custom coding to the module beyond what is provided by Aparna. I have added a "task_completed_date" field via the form designer with a date type. This is viewable in the update form. There is also a checkbox type field called "task_complete".

This module schedules tasks for maintenance people out in the field working on various Property profiles. When the task_complete checkbox hasn't been checked, then the task appears in their list of tasks to complete.

This is used in spring, summer, fall. It was used last year and now is being used again.

Last year, the client could update a task and there would be no date in the date field until she entered one. Or so she says, I'm thinking the current date would be showing since I've seen this happen on another jamroom site I have. The current will show in a date field when nothing has been entered.

What we do agree on is that showing the current date in the form when nothing has been entered is very confusing. You assume the date has been entered already.

This thread was started because I wanted a way to NOT show a date in the update form when nothing has previously been entered.

You gave me some code to place in the module's index.php file (see above). When I did that, it didn't change the update form display of task_completed_date (it still shows the current date). However, what does change is that the current date value is actually ENTERED as the task_completed_date even when the client doesn't click on the date and enter it via the javascript calendar. It also overrides values that have been entered when the form is updated.

Hopefully that makes sense.

wonder search anomaly

Using Jamroom

I have a song called "I wonder if you knew that I knew".

If I search for "wonder" it isn't listed in search results.

If I search for "knew" or "you" etc., it's listed. "I wonder" "wonder if" -- nothing.

Wondering why.

Date drop down showing date when not entered

Design and Skin Customization

I have a very upset client due to this issue. I believe something has changed in jamroom. We weren't experiencing this issue last year.

The date in this field is changing to the current date whenever the form is updated. Not just the form display, but the actual data is being changed when updated.

Why?

Thanks, Steve. I'll look at that.

What the client is seeing in the working module is this. It has to do with how a date is shown in a form as opposed to how it shows up in a template:

What is happening is the form shows whatever today's date is regardless of what's been entered or even if nothing has been entered. The date should show if it's been entered and nothing should show if nothing has been entered. At least that is what I think should happen.

Date drop down showing date when not entered

This aparna-generated module seems to be doing odd things. I've been testing on a newly generated module. Created a date field with the form designer. Created a couple test items. Then deleted the date field in the form designer and added the code above in index.php. The date still defaults to the current date. But also if I then delete the above code from index.php, after having deleted the field from form designer, it still shows up in form designer. I tried adding the above code in index.php giving it a datatime type and it shows up in the form designer along with the other one, so there's TWO fields now called the same thing.

I just want a date field that doesn't require a value until I actually give it a value.

I'll give that a shot, but the issue with having the date default and actually ENTER the current date means that the current date is entered regardless of whether you want to actually enter a date or not. There are many cases you do not want to enter a date. Such as when the date is a completion date, or when you don't yet know the date for whatever reason. Many other cases.

I'm not just testing, it's a live system. Can you please tell me what happens when I delete the form field from the form designer and put this code in index.php? I'm guessing the data is not deleted, but want to be sure of what happens. It sounds from your comment above that something might happen though.

It's not working. I pasted the above and nothing happens. Nothing in help either.

Do I need to delete the field out of the form designer or something like that? It seems like something is overwriting the index.php entry.
