Hi Ankita,

Is it possible that "$node/data[@alias='CompEnd']" doesn't contain a date?  Try outputting it to see what's in there.

<xsl:value-of select="$fdate" />

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

I have checked the value that comes from 

<xsl:value-of select="$fdate"/>

<br/>

<xsl:value-of select="$sdate"/>

is in format

2012-08-13T02:32:00
2012-08-30T08:43:50

But when we compare currentdate this does not give any error , It works properly.

Is there anyone who can solve my problem.

why function  DateGreaterThanOrEqual(String firstDate, String secondDate) not get my datepicker value, besides it is not giving error when used  "sdate" variable

<xsl:variable name="sdate" select="umbraco.library:CurrentDate()"/>

In sdate it get current date 

 I have checked the value that comes from my datapicker property and current date is:-

<xsl:value-of select="$datepicker"/> <xsl:value-of select="$currentdate"/>

is in format

2012-08-13T02:32:00
2012-08-30T08:43:50

Please tell me what's a silly mistake that I am doing .

Please help me ,I got stuck by this error

Any reply would be appreciable,

thanks in advance

Hi Ankita,

How many documents of the type Test1 do you have in the site?

The thing is that $fdate actually a nodeset of all the CompEnd properties of all Test1 documents in the Umbraco solution - so that might be the problem (because a nodeset is sent to the function).

The reason you get a seemingly valid value with value-of, is because the value-of instruction will only output the first node, if passed a nodeset.

So I think you need to specify the exact node you want to do the comparison with...

Hi Chriztian,

I have used only one time "Test1" document type in my hierarchy. So in that case there is only one property named "CompEnd" in hierarchy. I am still stuck by this problem. So if you have any other solution/idea/suggestion regarding this problem, Please reply ASAP.  

thanks,

Okay,

Tricky stuff - could you try the DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(String date) function? Just to see if that throws errors as well?

I'm curious if this could be Locale related somehow... which language is the machine set to? Have you assigned a hostname and language to the tree containing the CompEnd property?

/Chriztian

Hi Chriztian,

I have used DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(String date) function and passed "CompEnd" property value to it, but it throws the same error. Don't know what's happen with it? Do you know solution of this type error? Yes I have assigned hostname and language to the tree.

Thanks for your reply

Which language have you set?

Could you post the entire XSLT file? (Or if it's large, put it on http://gist.github.com and link to it).
