hey , lets say my mifxloopcollection gives me blocks of entries, that are orderd by date. in this case my table-column for this is "eventdate"

This is my calling procedure:

[[!migxLoopCollection? &packageName=`abc` &classname=`Abc` &tpl=`templateAbc` &sortConfig=`[{"sortby":"eventdate","sortdir":"ASC"}]`]]

This is my (templateAbc) chunk code:

<blockquote>
<div class="entry">
[[+eventname]]
</div>
</blockquote>

how can i group those blocks by date ?

for example

-27/08/2014-
Event 1
Event 2
Event 3

-28/08/2014-
Event 4
Event 5

-29/08/2014-
...

you can try this:

create a snippet 'getChunkIfNewValue'

<?php

$current_value = $modx->getOption('value',$scriptProperties,'');
$tpl = $modx->getOption('tpl',$scriptProperties,'');
$old_value = $modx->getPlaceholder('current_value');

$output = '';

if ($current_value != $old_value){
    $output = $modx->getChunk($tpl,$scriptProperties);
}

$modx->setPlaceholder('current_value',$current_value);

return $output;

put it into your tpl-chunk:

[[!getChunkIfNewValue? &value=`[[!+eventdate:strtotime:date=`%d/%m/%Y`]]` &idx=`[[!+idx]]` &tpl=`tplNewDate`]]
<div class="entry">
[[+eventname]]
</div>

and have a chunk tplNewDate with:

<h3>[[!+value]]</h3>
