Compare Date in ConfiForms

Question

Hello everyone,

I created two forms in ConfiForms. In one there are three fields: Place, Time and Date. In the other form I have a SmartClassifier field which accesses the fields.

Now on another page I have a ListView in which I display the date using SmartClassifierField.Date. On the same page there is an Edit Control with which I can change the values.

Now I want to hide the edit control via "Hide controls when stored data (for given record) matches this criteria" if the date is 72h away from today. I have done this with:

SmartClassifierField.Date:>([entry._today]-3)

but the "-3" is ignored even if I change the value.

I also tried with

SmartClassifierField.Date:>([today]-3)

but that didn't work at all.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Martin

This is about hiding the edit controls in a particular view

You can use the form's default admin UI to edit records or create another view with Edit Controls that dont have this logic

By the way - how to regain controls to edit again if (in some cases) changes are still requested but the buttons are invisible - do I need to remove the validation rule from "Edit Controls for ConfiForms"?

Hi

Looking at

SmartClassifierField.Date:>([today]-3)

I have to say that it should work.. but may be the issue is that it is accessed through the smart field and not directly available in the current form

I suggest to work on timestamps in this case

SmartClassifierField.Date.timestamp:>([entry._today.add(-259200000)])

What is "259 200 000"? It is 3* milliseconds per day (86400000)
