Re: [xwiki-devs] Velocity format date

We have created a reference manual on how to use XWiki at our company. I want to create a Wiki Macro which reads the "ContentUpdateDate" and shows that as a "red flag" when the document has been updated in the last 2 days (or 5 days). So I need to know the difference between Now() and ContentUpdateDate :-) #set($myDate = $doc.getContentUpdateDate()) $doc.getDisplayTitle() has been updated at $datetool.format('yyyy-MM-dd',$myDate) by $doc.getAuthor() On the VelocityDocs at http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.4/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/t… there's a method called "whenIs" which is exactly what I want to use to show how long ago the reference manual has been updated... So I tried... $datetool.whenis('1979-05-02') $datetool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $datetool.Whenis('1979-05-02') $datetool.WhenIs('1979-05-02') $comparisondatetool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $comparisondateTool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $comparisonDatetool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $comparisonDateTool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $ComparisonDateTool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $Comparisondatetool.whenIs('1979-05-02') $comparisondatetool.whenis('1979-05-02') $comparisondateTool.whenis('1979-05-02') $comparisonDatetool.whenis('1979-05-02') $comparisonDateTool.whenis('1979-05-02') $ComparisonDateTool.whenis('1979-05-02') $Comparisondatetool.whenis('1979-05-02') Nothing works... I could really need a working example of "whenIs"! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Velocity-format-date-tp7580272p7580287.ht… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
