Hi,

I am currently developping a new site with Revo and I wonder if there is a simple solution to get the timestamp information of a file ?

Ideally a snippets that would take a path as input and return informations about the file itself (a bit like filelister snippet on directories).

Thanks for help

Hello Philippe,

I guess you’ll have to rely on filemtime, filectime or stat (in French, just for you ;p)
Hope that’ll help

Shouldn’t be that hard…

<?php
if (file_exists($file)) {
    $o = $file .' has been edited on : ' . date ($format, filemtime($file));
} else {
    $o = 'You must define a valid file';
}
?>

And then

[[!modifiedOn?
&file=`[[++assets_path]]to/your/file.ext`
&format=`F d Y H:i:s`
]]

Hi,

Thanks to Romain for help with php ...

Now I face a problem with caching, I guess huh

??

To ease understanding, I have created the following test case :

On the page : http://www.vgd-pinceaux.eu/test.html

I have the code :


7<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140` &album=`7` &orderby=`date`]]
[[+Gallery]]

8<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140` &album=`8` &orderby=`date`]]
[[+Gallery]]

9<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140` &album=`9` &orderby=`date`]]
[[+Gallery]]

10<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140` &album=`10` &orderby=`date`]]
[[+Gallery]]

I modified dirtily Shaun’s chunck for default output template to call Romain’s modifiedOn snippet :

<div class="[[+cls]]">
<a href="[[+linkToImage:if=`[[+linkToImage]]`:is=`1`:then=`[[+image_absolute]]`:else=`[[~[[*id]]?
&[[+imageGetParam]]=`[[+id]]`
&[[+albumRequestVar]]=`[[+album]]`
&[[+tagRequestVar]]=`[[+tag]]` ]]`]]">

<img class="[[+imgCls]]" src="[[+thumbnail]]" alt="[[+name]]" />
</a>
<p>
<!-- this should not be there, but otherwise, variables don't get initialized  -->

assets/components/gallery/files/[[+gallery.id]]/[[+filename]]

<!-- this is the call to Romain's snippet  -->

[[!modifiedOn?
&file=`assets/components/gallery/files/[[+gallery.id]]/[[+filename]]`
&format=`F d Y H:i:s`
]]</p>
</div>

Two problems that seems relative to caching :

Call to modifiedOn does not work if [[+gallery.id]] and [[+filename]] are not called.displayed before the snippet.

Gallery number (gallery.id) is not changed with each subsequent Gallery call resulting in "You must define a valid file" message after the first call.

I must have done something wrong ?

Any idea about what the problem is ?

Thanks

Philippe,

As far as i understand, your last piece of code is a chunk used as tpl in another snippet, am i right ?
If so, i guess you don’t need to call the snippet uncached. For placeholders problems, i assume you are not using Revo 2.1.3. If not you should really upgrade, since nested placeholders had some kind of caching issue fixed in 2.1.3

Yes,

The template is the default one.

Revo version 2.1.2.pl.

I’ll update it to 2.1.3 immediatly to see if there is some changes.

Hi,

Modification done : Upgraded to 2.1.3.pl

called changed in the http://vgd-pinceaux.eu/test.html page to :


7<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140`  &album=`7` &orderby=`date` &tpl=`galItemThumbmod`]]
[[+Gallery]]

8<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140`  &album=`8` &orderby=`date` &tpl=`galItemThumbmod`]]
[[+Gallery]]

9<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140`  &album=`9` &orderby=`date` &tpl=`galItemThumbmod`]]
[[+Gallery]]

10<br/>
[[!Gallery? &thumbWidth=`195` &thumbHeight=`140`  &album=`10` &orderby=`date` &tpl=`galItemThumbmod`]]
[[+Gallery]]

galItemThumbmod chunck is :

<div class="[[+cls]]">
<a href="[[+linkToImage:if=`[[+linkToImage]]`:is=`1`:then=`[[+image_absolute]]`:else=`[[~[[*id]]?
&[[+imageGetParam]]=`[[+id]]`
&[[+albumRequestVar]]=`[[+album]]`
&[[+tagRequestVar]]=`[[+tag]]` ]]`]]">

<img class="[[+imgCls]]" src="[[+thumbnail]]" alt="[[+name]]" />
</a>
<p>
<!-- this should not be there, but otherwise, variables don't get initialized  -->

assets/components/gallery/files/[[+gallery.id]]/[[+filename]]

<!-- this is the call to Romain's snippet  -->

[[!modifiedOn?
&file=`assets/components/gallery/files/[[+gallery.id]]/[[+filename]]`
&format=`F d Y H:i:s`
]]</p>
</div>

Romain’s modifiedOn Snippet code is :

<?php
if (file_exists($file)) {

    $o =$file .' has been edited on : ' . date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($file));
} else {
    $o = 'You must define a valid file';
}
return $o;

And still this caching issue.

Thanks for help.
