MIGX: (still) impossible to format inputs using renderChunk in columns view?

Support Extras
1

I (like many others) would like to format inputs like a date or really anything using the renderChunk option in the columns view of MIGX (not MIGX DB!).

I’ve read a ton of other posts about this, I’ve tried copying working solutions from an actual MIGX DB build, but I couldn’t find a working solution. I really don’t want to set up a full featured MIGX DB only because I want a date to not have the default format.

Here is an example which should work (but doesn’t):

// Formtabs
{"field":"date","caption":"Date","inputTVtype":"date"}

// Grid Columns
{"header": "Date", "width": "50", "sortable": "true", "dataIndex": "dateRender","renderer": "this.renderChunk","renderchunktpl": "renderDate"}

// renderDate Chunk
[[+date:strtotime:date=`%A, %d.%m.%Y`]]

Is it really not possible to accomplish this? (And if so why?)

should be possible by setting up a migx - config, like you would do for migxdb.
Then don’t use the formtabs and columns - field, but put the name of the migx - configuration into the configs - input-option of your migx - TV

Just to be clear, I still have to go through the whole package creation process, right? Because I tried creating just the config and linking it to the TV, but it doesn’t keep the data (to be exact it only saves one data entry per column). I would’ve hoped it could still save the inputs in the TV itself. Is there something I’m missing like a setting in the configs or do I have to setup a complete new package then?

you don’t need to create a package. Just the configuration.
could you post your exported config, please (the whole json-thing)?

give your rendered column another dataIndex, for example:

{
      "MIGX_id":1,
      "header":"Datum",
      "dataIndex":"rendered_date",
      "width":50,
      "sortable":true,
      "show_in_grid":1,
      "customrenderer":"",
      "renderer":"this.renderChunk",
      "clickaction":"",
      "selectorconfig":"",
      "renderchunktpl":"[[+date:strtotime:date=`%A, %d.%m.%Y`]]",
      "renderoptions":"",
      "editor":""
    }

Oh right, I thought about that in my first example but forgot now. Works great now, thanks a lot!
