pdoPage doesn't fetch publishedon date in ajax requests beyond the limit set

[esger]

I’m using this code to fetch intro’s to News items including it’s publishedon datefield. It does get the dates for the first three but not for the subsequent ajax requests.

[[!pdoPage?
    &parents=`[[++site_news]]`
    &hideContainers=`1`
    &depth=`0`
    &limit=`3`
    &sortby=`menuindex` 
    &sortdir=`ASC` 
    &offset=`1`
    &prepareTVs=`1`
    &processTVs=`1`
    &includeTVs=`imageSrcSet,linkToPage,buttonText`
    &tpl=`item_nieuws`
    &ajaxTplMore=`@INLINE <button class="actionButton btn-more">Meer laden</button>`
    &ajaxMode=`scroll`
    &showUnpublished=`[[!isAuthenticated]]`
]]

All items fetched beyond the limit set show a date of 1/1/1970
If I change the limit to 6, the first six are correct.
Is this a bug or can I set some parameter to fix this?

In your template chunk “item_nieuws”, how do you output the value of the publishedon field? Do you use an output modifier?

Yes, I do: [[!+publishedon:hideYearWithinThisYear]] which strips the year if it is less than a year ago.
Because you’re asking, I tried [[!+publishedon:date=%e %B %Y]] too, and it returns empty, which explains the 1/1/1970.
hideYearWithinThisYear snippet is as following:

<?php
$myDate = intval($input, 10);

setlocale(LC_ALL,'nl_NL.UTF-8');
$longFormatString = '%e %B %Y';
$shortFormatString = '%e %B';

$now = time();
$year = 31536000; // 365 * 24 * 60 * 60
$yearAgo = $now - $year;

$formatString = $myDate > $yearAgo ? $shortFormatString : $longFormatString;

$result = strftime($formatString, $myDate);

return $result;

It works correctly if the placeholder is cached [[+publishedon:hideYearWithinThisYear]].

If the placeholder is uncached ([[!+publishedon:hideYearWithinThisYear]] however, then the output modifier somehow doesn’t get an input value.

But I don’t know why exactly.
It works correctly, if the data isn’t loaded with AJAX.

Maybe try using this syntax, if the snippet has to be uncached: [[!hideYearWithinThisYear? &input=`[[+publishedon]]`]]

[esger]

Just calling it uncached did it!
It’s a bit unclear to me when to use uncached. Maybe I should try that only if cached doesn’t work.
