Hello,
Trying my hand at a small modification. I'd like to port the date of a clip over to the explore.html from view.html.
In view.html I can't see where media is defined.
This is what I'm trying to port over to explore.html:
${h.format_date(media.publish_on, 'long')}
However when in explore.html it complains that media is not defined...
I'm a total amateur, but have done a lot of tweaking myself... where are you trying to add the publish date? If you're trying to add it to the feature or to media grid items, I'm not sure you should be doing it in this file (explore.html).
If you're adding pub dates to the items in the media grid, try adding to helpers.html in the media_grid def starting on line 12. This is where I've successfully added logic to look at the media type and display different icons.
Not sure but here you may need to use m.publish_on instead of media.publish on... To look at the type field, I had to use m.type instead of media.type.
Hope this helps.
"media" is a variable available in view.html. On the explore page there are several media under different names.
For example on media object is available as 'featured' (if you display featured items in the player on the front page) and you can use
${featured.format_date(media.publish_on, 'long')}
Other media is rendered through the template function media_grid in helpers.html.
@ijnalepa: You explanantion is correct, just want to explain it a bit differently. Thanks for helping out here.
@aicm: Just curious if you ever got this working.
