stupid phx question.

i’m using ditto to pull blog summaries. on the individual blog posts, i am wanting to use phx to show the date and author. here is my call, but for some reason it isn’t working. any ideas?

What isn’t working? The date, userinfo, or both? If it is both, do you have PHx installed, it is an extra plugin? (You said it was a stupid question.)

If it is just the date that is being displayed, change "name" to "username".

This should work... [*createdon:date=`%B %e, %Y`*] by [*createdby:userinfo=`username`*]

neither one of them are working. phx is installed as an extra plugin. if i just use [*createdon*] it shows the unix time stamp and if i use [*createdby*] it shows the ID of the author, so it has to be phx. as far as i can tell, everything is installed correctly. (i followed the steps on the wiki). it’s really frustrating as i need this to work pretty badly. can i use something other than phx to display that information in a readable format?

according to the system log there is a parse error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’<’ in /blah/blahblah/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(745) : eval()’d code on line 1

i upgraded to modx .9.6.3, then it stopped working. i looked at that php file, but i don’t see the error. granted, i’m not a php pro, but i couldn’t see anything wrong. i didn’t change it after the upgrade.

i reinstalled phx and everything is fine now. i dunno. thanks anyway!

Version: 2.1.3 PHx works with 0.9.6.3

Did you check the box for "OnParseDocument" on the System Events tab?

You could try turning on debugging in the configuration of the PHx plugin.

Glad you got it working. PHx has been a big help to me.
