minutes and seconds only in time 01 Jan 2014 20:44 #11876

The time filed only allows HH:MM:SS however i don't care about the hours as they are always 00, i only need to store minutes and seconds.

before i start hacking through code, is there an easy way via the builder?

Hi,
One option would be to build your options in an enumeration field type maybe? This way, you can easily limit how you'd like time to increment both mins and seconds and make available to select via a combo. However, if you want to allow every single second, it could be time consuming to build.

What is the field used to capture - I mean, the mins and secs of what? Duration of an activity?

Anyway, hope it helps,

Gez

Maybe a new custom UI for that ?

The format string for you is :
i:s
You gonna need to change it in the XML file.

Its to record times for races so it could be anything, but it's sorted now thanks. I forked the model to still store it as HH:mm:ss and changed the format string for the input to i:s so the user only enters the min and seconds

A new UI would definitely be a good way to go...

I found this GitHub Repo that may be of interest to you: vitalets.github.io/combodate

It isn't just a time picker, it includes dates too but can be setup with whatever date/time formats you require. Therefore, it could be quite a powerful basis for a new jDom Class.

Anyway, hope it helps!

Thank you Gez,

nice one.
I took note for this implementation. Actually I can acomplish only 10% of my wishes, so it will come one rainy day for sure, but when ?...

Remember that JDom is on github now, so contributors are welcome.
github.com/Cook-Self-Service/JDom

I started recently with github, it is not so difficult I was thinking before to get in touch with it.

No probs! Indeed, I will be getting into JDom quite heavily in the next week or so... :cheer:

@admin - on a separate note, I decided to read FoF docs from beginning to end this morning - phew - isn't that something? Cook + FoF will kick some serious a%s! Have you decided exactly which FoF features (and in which order) you will start adopting in Cook yet? What looks really interesting is the XML for defining views etc... POWERFUL STUFF!

Thanks,

G

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
