Hi Guys,

I have a template variable with a videos duration in minutes (ie 2:20)

I want to take that figure and

Multiply the first figure by 60

Then and the second figure to it.

I.e(2:20) 2 x 60 + 20

Then store this in a TV

Is there any built in functionality in revo that allows you to do small calculations?

Any snippets out there?

Any guidance appreciated.

Output modifiers are your best friend

There are built in ones that deal with dates and math, but in this case it’s best to use a simple custom modifier.

Create a new snippet called ’hrtomin’ or something like that:

<?php
if (strstr($input, ':')) {
	$timeArray = split(':', $input);
	$hour = $timeArray[0] * 60;
	$min = $timeArray[1];
	$total = $hour + $min;
}
else $total = $input * 60;

return $total;

Then call it like:

[[*tvname:hrtomin]]

Thanks So much Lucas,

This worked perfectly.

I used it to convert a video time to seconds for a video XML sitemap

Thanks again,

Stuart
