Description

This page makes use of the #cargo_query function to query data from the Assignments Cargo table (populated by the the Assignments page) which is then transcluded unto Home. As part of the database query, the page the DATEDIFF() function to validate if the specified Release Date (also set on the the Assignments page) is between two dates, the first day of the month or the first day of the next month.

Syntax

To add a new section or change what month a section covers, simply make a copy of the syntax below and/or update three specific places:

    <div class="month-container">
        <div class="month">
            <p>April</p>
        </div>
        <table class="pcgwikitable sortable template-infotable" style="max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; margin: 0 auto">
            {{#cargo_query:
            tables=Assignments
            |fields=Game,Status,Release_Date
            |where=DATEDIFF(Release_Date, '2019-04-01') >= 0 AND DATEDIFF(Release_Date, '2019-05-01') < 0
            |format=template
            |template=:Home/ask/assignments/row
            |limit=10
            |order by=Release_Date ASC
            |more results text=
            }}
        </table>
    </div>

Update these places

• <p>April</p>

This is the header shown above the table, so just update it so it shows the appropriate name of the month.

• where=DATEDIFF(Release_Date, '2019-04-01') >= 0

This evaluates if the release date is after the specified date, so change the 2019-04-01 part to the first day of the month that the section should list.

• • For

• AND DATEDIFF(Release_Date, '2019-05-01') < 0
