Ditto date filter TV problem?

Hi all,

Modx Newbie here. I’m having a problem trying to get Ditto to read my TV date.

The ditto call i’m making is:



The TV is set to: input type = date and widget = Unixtime

I’m getting this error:

PHP error debug
Error: strftime() expects parameter 2 to be long, array given
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: /home/epicnet/public_html/gf/assets/snippets/ditto/classes/ditto.class.inc.php
Line: 294
Line 294 source: $placeholders[’date’] = strftime($dateFormat,$timestamp);

I’m guessing that the problem is with the date formatting as when i write out my TV date I get a random number which i Guess is something to do with Unix, I have tried changing the widget to date and also not setting it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have a server time offset in your configuration? If so, you could be hitting a Ditto bug I’ve seen before. Take a look at http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,35089.msg218405.html#msg218405

That "random number" is probably the (correct) output from the unixtime widget, representing the number of seconds elapsed since 1st January 1970.

Hi KP,

Thanks for the pointer - you were on the money.

I’m getting closer to my goal now, but I’m not able to format the unixtime for the ditto call - Reflect is fine, would you have any other ideas on this?

here are the calls I’m making:




Kind regards,

Re the unixtime stamp problem, I just found your post (http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,35089.msg213759.html#msg213759) which worked for me as well!

So thanks a lot for that as well, your a good man.
