Nick Woods	Friday 05 March 2004 5:07:46 am currentdate() returns the current date and time. How can i modify the results, so that e.g I can get the date for a week ago or a month ago. I want to use the result to compare with date values held in my classes so the results have to be compatible. I've tried adding and subtracting data and piping it through datetime but it doesnt work. i.e {currentdate()\|datetime(custom,"%Y/%m/%d")} works but {currentdate() + <i>any number</i>\|datetime(custom,"%Y/%m/%d")} doesnt
liu spider	Friday 05 March 2004 9:08:19 am try this: {sub(currentdate(),3600)\|datetime(custom,"%Y/%m/%d")} this will get the time one hour ago TIPS: remember no +/- in eZ template, only add and sub etc http://liucougar.scim-im.org SCIM Input Method Platform http://scim.sf.net SJSD Online Editor http://sf.net/projects/sjsd

currentdate() returns the current date and time. How can i modify the results, so that e.g I can get the date for a week ago or a month ago.

I want to use the result to compare with date values held in my classes so the results have to be compatible.

I've tried adding and subtracting data and piping it through datetime but it doesnt work. i.e

{currentdate()|datetime(custom,"%Y/%m/%d")} works

but

{currentdate() + <i>any number</i>|datetime(custom,"%Y/%m/%d")} doesnt

try this:
{sub(currentdate(),3600)|datetime(custom,"%Y/%m/%d")}

this will get the time one hour ago

TIPS: remember no +/- in eZ template, only add and sub etc
