Hi! I've been these last days trying to regain access to an ancient issue while dealing with dates. Searching Jira I found this... http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5610?jql=text%20~%20%22datetool%22 ... and this at XWiki Platforma site... http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SRD/datetool To the best of my understanding ComparisonDateTool is implemented and accessible through $datetool velocity variable. But I'm not able to get it working.

Please, check this page... http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/PureDate I'm able to get working the examples at DateTool page, but not those at ComparisonDateTool page. Please, could anybody point us in the right direction?

Hi, Wow XE 2.4 is really old... I don’t remember if the $datetool binding was available and it’s possible that it wasn’t. FYI it’s located in a java class in the xwiki-velocity*.jar file. Thanks -Vincent

Reading the documentation of the XWiki JoDaTime module (XWiki services based) I feel it holds a lot of value next to $datetool and $datecomparisontool (velocity based) But I fail to understand the documentation http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Joda+Time+Plugin As the examples are quite easy to read they did not clarify me enough to just use date-values stored in XWiki XObjectProperties of type date What default format does the property deliver; Should I use $doc.Display(date-property)? , $doc.Display(date-property).value() or $object.getProperty(date-property) What I understand from JoDaTime is that it is great to render dates in 'view' mode in the internationally localized format (Dutch Notation vs English Notation), but when I switch to 'edit' mode how can I have a DateWidget understands that format So my simple question was to calculate the age based on a date-property in a wiki object and Now?

That pending migration is still a pending migration/upgrade... Some notes on this issue in comments here... http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/PureDate I'll give it a try ASAP! Cheers!

Hi! On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 9:06 AM Vincent Massol &lt;vincent(a)massol.net&gt; wrote: I'm afraid I don't understand this. I see that velocity-tools-1.4.jar included with XE 2.4 includes DateComparisonTools, as it does velocity-tools-2.0.jar included with XE 7.3. I've replaced both in XE 2.4 with those in XE 7.3 and restarted the container to no avail. DateTool methods work, but ComparisonDateTool don't. http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/PureDate I think I don't understand what binding does mean and how could I implement it. Have I any option of getting these methods working in my legacy XE 2.4 installation? I do need to do some date comparisons to show several pieces of information! Thanks for your help!
