    Using umbraco.library:DateDiff and CurrentDate

    I want to count the number of days between now and a date in the future.  I can ruddy figure out if I can pass the output of CurrentDate to DateDiff.

    Can anyone help?

    Yes, that'll work:

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:variable name="currentDate" select="substring-before(umbraco.library:CurrentDate(), 'T')"/>
      <xsl:variable name="futureDate" select="'2011-12-11'"/>
      <xsl:variable name="diffSeconds" select="umbraco.library:DateDiff($futureDate, $currentDate, 's')"/>
      <p>Diff in days: <xsl:value-of select="floor($diffSeconds div (60 * 60 * 24))"/></p>
    </xsl:template>

    If your date includes a time, then remove the "substring-before" from $currentDate and add a time to the $futureDate, e.g. '2011-12-11T16:00:00'.
