I am using migxdb according to this tut:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGXdb.Manage+Events-Resources+in+a+CMP+with+help+of+MIGXdb

I wonder how to validate the date tvs. Where to implement some rules?

the simplest way for validation is this.
Create a custom-update-processor with something like that:

            if (yourValidationCondition) {
                $updateerror = true;
                $errormsg = 'you have an error in your form.......';
                return;

            }

just before

$object->fromArray($postvalues);

And please use this board:

you mean in file

migx/processors/mgr/childresources/update.php

?
can not find a line

$object->fromArray($postvalues);

So I inserted for testing suppose in line 62 of

migx/processors/mgr/childresources/update.php

this code

if ($includeTVs) { 
    $myId = $scriptProperties['object_id'];
    $page = $modx->getObject('modResource', $myId);
    $myEventStart = $page->getTVValue('eventstart');
    $myEventEnde = $page->getTVValue('eventend');

    if (empty($myEventStart)) {  
                $updateerror = true;
                $errormsg = 'Sie müssen ein Startdatum setzen';
                return;
    }
   
}

I do get an alert, but obviously this is not a propper solution. Three questions:
1. I do validate the tv db values, not the form values. How to access the form values of the tvs?
2. Is this the correct place for the validation code in the update.php?
3. And is there a way to set the unpub_date of the ressource.

And: Could some Admin move this tread to the migx forum. Or should I better start a new thread with that concern? [ed. note: spica8 last edited this post 13 years, 7 months ago.]

try this:

        $data['context_key'] = $modx->getOption('context_key', $data, $scriptProperties['wctx']);

        $myEventStart = $data['eventstart'];
        $myEventEnde = $data['eventend'];

        if (empty($myEventStart)) {
            $updateerror = true;
            $errormsg = 'Sie müssen ein Startdatum setzen';
            return;
        }

        if ($includeTVs) {

but you shouldn't modify the processors, which came with MIGX for your own purposes (they will be overridden on updates), but create own custom-processors.

There are two ways to use custom-processors in your projects:

1.
create a new folder in components/migx/processors/mgr/
for example components/migx/processors/mgr/childresources_spica/

copy all processors from /childresources/ to /childresources_spica/
change the processorspath in your MIGX-configuration from childresources to childrecources_spica

2.
create a new components-folder
for example components/childresources_spica/processors/mgr/childresources/
and put just the modified processors into the folder.
In this case it will use the unmodified processors from migx and if there exists custom-processors in your components-folder, it will use this one.

put in packagename of your MIGX-configuration: childresources_spica

Thanx Bruno, thats working out for some evaluations.

To complete I also added this code to modifie the unpubdate according to the set dates

        $myId = $scriptProperties['object_id'];;
        $myResource = $modx->getObject('modResource',$myId);
        if (empty($myEventEnde)) { 
            $unpub_date = strtotime("+6 hours", strtotime($myEventStart));
        } else {  
            $unpub_date = strtotime("+6 hours", strtotime($myEventEnde));
        };
        $myResource->set('unpub_date', $unpub_date);
        $myResource->save();

you don't need to get and manipulate the Resource-object.
Just set the values before the script runs the resource-create/update-processor.

I already tried

        if (empty($myEventEnde)) { 
            $data['unpub_date'] = strtotime("+6 hours", strtotime($myEventStart));
        } else { 
            $data['unpub_date'] = strtotime("+6 hours", strtotime($myEventEnde));
        };

but without effect

I think pub_date and unpub_date should be string-formatted dates, not unixtimes here
