How can we compare dates in conditional blocks ?
in conditional blocks there are some operators to compare numbers like
== , != , +- .... how can we compare dates ?
I have a block like that
<div class="NewsTitle">[newsitem.TITLE]<img src=[newsitem.DATEPUB;frm='mmm dd, yyyy';if [val]!=[var..now;frm='mmm dd, yyyy'];then '"/images/news.gif"';else '"/images/news_new.gif"'] ></div>
this block uses conditional to check the date in order to choose the correct icon for a News publisher. If the date is old it returns normal icon, if it"s today or tomorrow it shows a bright news icon. How can we compare dates (before or after ...)
Best regards and THANK YOU VERY WELL FOR THIS GREAT TEMPLATE ENGINE

Re: How can we compare dates in conditional blocks ?
Hi Octal,
TBS comparaisons don't work for dates. They are very simple because any subtile comparaison should be prepared into the PHP side.
For exemple, you can prepare the info in a calculated column in your SQL statement. Or you can add a calculated column computed using parameter "ondata".
