[Vtigercrm-developers] How to have an empty DateTime field in Detail View?

[nilay khatri]

Hi Alan,

yes you have to take care of the time part as well.

We needed a similar datetime field in Helpdesk module so we did override
date, time and datetime in Helpdesk. See if that couldbe of any help:

HelpDesk/uitype/DateTime.php
class HelpDesk_Datetime_UIType extends Vtiger_Datetime_UIType {
public function getDisplayValue($value) {
if(empty($value))
return null;
if($this->hasTimeComponent($value)) {
return self::getDisplayDateTimeValue($value);
}else{
return $this->getDisplayDateValue($value);
}
}
public function hasTimeComponent($value) {
$component = explode(' ', $value);
if(!empty($component[1])) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}

Date.php:

class HelpDesk_Date_UIType extends Vtiger_Date_UIType {
/**
* Function to get the display value in edit view
* @param $value
* @return converted value
*/
public function getEditViewDisplayValue($value) {
if (!empty($value)) {
return parent::getEditViewDisplayValue($value);
}
return $value;
}
} Time.php:

class HelpDesk_Time_UIType extends Vtiger_Time_UIType {
/**
* Function to get the display value in edit view
* @param $value
* @return converted value
*/
public function getEditViewDisplayValue($value) {
if(!empty($value)){
return parent::getEditViewDisplayValue($value);
}
return '';
}
/**
* Function to get the calendar event call duration value in hour format
* @param type $fieldName
* @param type $value
* @return <Vtiger_Time_UIType> - getTimeValue
*/
public function getDisplayTimeDifferenceValue($fieldName, $value) {
$userModel = Users_Privileges_Model::getCurrentUserModel();
$date = new DateTime($value);
$dateTimeField = new DateTimeField($date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
$value = $dateTimeField->getDisplayTime();
return $value;
}
}
