@EVAL binding Template Variable

I am trying to get the number of the month with the @EVAL binding function in a TV.

I have TV named startingDate (date format) and another TV named numMonth (text format)

I made a snippet to get the number of the month named month-number Ex:
[[!month-number? &var=`[[*publishedon]]`]] it is working perfectly.

But when I use the @EVAL binding like this in the TV numMonth :

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('month-number',array('var'=>'[[*startingDate]]'));

I get the number 12 which is from the date Wednesday, December 31, 1969

I try with the [[*publishedon]] same result.

I think I have not the right way to pass the parameter date in the @EVAL binding.

Does someone could tell me my mistake?


Thank for your help

month-number and var are not set when the TV value is evaluated. You don't really want an @EVAL TV. You can use an output modifier to show the month number. You'll have to install PHX is you're using MODX Evolution.

Try this:

PLEASE, PLEASE specify the version of MODX you are using . . . PLEASE!

Sorry,sorry, I usually always mention the version of Modx. I use Modx version 2.2 .

- getResources 1.4.2
- php 5.3.8
- mySql 5.1.56

My first language is French, I'll try to explain I what to do.

Thank you for your answer, but I do not want to display the number of month, I want to filter the results of getResources by the number of the month.

I have these ressources

- Training
- course 1
- course 2
- course 3
- course n

For each course
Tv : startingDate | date format | Starting date fo a course | Enter by the user
Tv : numMonth | text format | Number of the month of the starting date | calculate with @Eval Binding in the Tv

I want to place the number of the month of the startingDate in numMonth Tv with @Eval Binding, and with getResources filter the resources by the numMonth Tv.

Is it possible? Is it the right way to do that?

Thank

Can't you just put the tag I posted above in the getResources tag where you need the month number?

My initial call for getResource with no results was :



and try



with no results

Thank you for your patience

You also need

&processTVs=`1`

Thank,

I add &processTVs=`1`, but no result.

I put



in my numMonth TV, and place my numMonth TV in the content field, I get the number of the month.

So I place my numMonth TV in my getResources call :



again no result

I'm afraid tvFilters works on the raw value of the TV. Sorry if I led you down the wrong path. I didn't realize you were trying to use it with tvFilters.

You might consider either entering the numMonth TV value manually before saving the resource or creating a plugin connected to OnDocFormSave that sets it for you.

Thank you Bob, it was my first option to enter the value manually in the numMonth TV.

I'm not familiar with the plugin creation, I will read the section of your book on the subject.

Thank you again
