Stream - Show Date and Time

[redgular]

What file can I change so that the Date and Time show on the Stream. (Today and Past stream).
I do see that client/src/views/fields/datetime-short.js has an affect on the date and time I'm just not sure on how to change it.

Example.

Apr 6 - 10:00am

Hello
client/src/views/stream/note.js
change view parameter in createField from datetime-short to datetime

this.createField('createdAt', null, null, 'views/fields/datetime');

Hi tanya

Is there an upgrade safe way to do this? Or is this the best way to do it?

[tanya]

Hi, you could try
open application/Espo/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Note.json . You can see itemViews key. In custom clientDefs of Note you can set the view for each type of

• Create;
• EmailReceived;
• CreateRelated;
• Update;
• Status;
• Post;
• EmailSent;
• Assign;
• Relate.

and override init method

Thank you!

I can't seem to get this to work within the custom directories after a rebuild.
I have copied the file note.js from the source and modified datetime-short to datetime and placed in /client/custom/src/views/stream/
post.js was place in /client/custom/src/views/stream/notes/ and also modified to Espo.define('Custom:views/stream/notes/post', ......
Am I missing a step?

[tanya]

Did you set your view in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Note.json

[khopper]

Yes I did - not sure if I did it properly though.

{
"itemViews": {
"Post": "views/stream/notes/post"
}
}

[tanya]

Espo.define('custom:views/stream/notes/post', ......?

[khopper]

Here is what I have for all 3 files, I rebuilt the backend with no errors and still showing the short version.
I also cleared all my local cache and refreshed the page.
Current version: 5.3.6

/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/note.json

{
  "itemViews": {
    "Post": "views/stream/notes/post"
  }
}

/client/custom/src/views/stream/note.js

Espo.define('custom:views/stream/note', 'view', function (Dep) {....

this.createField('createdAt', null, null, 'views/fields/datetime');

/client/custom/src/views/stream/notes/post.js

Espo.define('custom:views/stream/notes/post', 'views/stream/note', function (Dep) {....

[tanya]

in clientDefs you don't call your view, but default
your vie has the name
custom:views/stream/notes/post

[khopper]

I had tried that before, I updated as suggested and still showing short view after doing a rebuild.

/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/note.json

"Post": "custom:views/stream/notes/post"

[tanya]

/note.json?
in lower case?
check data/cache/application/metadata.php
can you find your clientDefs customization here? if not - path or content is not correct

[khopper]

The "N" Is actually upper case and has been in "Note.json" my typo. Should it be lowercase?
/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Note.json

This was listed in the metadata.php file
'itemViews' =>
array (
'Post' => 'custom:views/stream/notes/post',

[tanya]

If it is in cached metadata - everything is ok here.
Attach content of /client/custom/src/views/stream/notes/post.js

[khopper]

Attached are the 3 files from the following locations.

/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Note.json
/client/custom/src/views/stream/note.js
/client/custom/src/views/stream/notes/post.js

[tanya]

you create /client/custom/src/views/stream/note.js but you nowhere use it...
Espo.define('custom:views/stream/notes/post', 'custom:views/stream/note', function (Dep) {

[khopper]

Thank you, I was going off the above recommendations and the customization documentation.

I updated /client/custom/src/views/stream/note.js
to the following and it began working.
Espo.define('custom:views/stream/notes/post', 'custom:views/stream/note', function (Dep) {
