Hi, newbie here, I’ve done most of the lessons and scoured the documentation, but I just can’t work out how to get data to work. Any help much appreciated!
Here’s what I have worked out:
How to get the user’s birthday from the date input field
How to work out how many days old they are
How to extract their birth date and birth month
But I’m really struggling with how I’d work out their zodiac sign. When I add the field “date range” to my Zodiac Data Type it’s blank i.e. doesn’t allow me add in a range. And even if it did, I wouldn’t actually want to specify a year because a user’s birthday could be any year rather than a specific one, if you follow me.
So is there some method to use their extracted birth date / month and look up a sign from the Zodiac Data table I’ve created? Or am I on completely the wrong track?
Lots of data you might need to populate (either as static data for live, or for test) isn’t directly enterable in the data tab.
For example you can’t create lists, or, in this case, enter ranges directly.
So often we create throwaway pages for adding data that do all that instead. So two numeric inputs that populate the range in this case. Stick a dropdown at the top of the page to select the Zodiac sign (you can add the base data manually in the data tab) and then update on the admin page.
