    Selecting Nodes From Todays Date Onwards?

    I am creating an events list, where the user puts in a date of the event - I have been pulling the nodes through fine, but now I would like to display the events to the user from today's date onwards?

    As the results for past events are a bit pointless - Just wondering if anyone has done anything similar?  If so could I ask for a sneak peek at your syntax?

    Any help appreciated =)

    Hows about using http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/dategreaterthantoday in your xslt?

    Hey Lee,

    something like this should do:

            <xsl:variable name="eventNodes" select="$currentPage/node [
                      @nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and 
                      string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and 
                      (
                        (data [@alias = 'eventStartDate'] != '' and umbraco.library:DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(data [@alias = 'eventStartDate'])) 
                        or 
                        (data [@alias = 'eventEndDate'] != '' and umbraco.library:DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(data [@alias = 'eventEndDate']))
                      )]" />

    The above compares two dates, but you could very easily just remove the OR clause.

    HTH,
    Nik

    As for syntax, something like

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage//node/data [@nodeTypeAlias='whataver' and umbraco.library:DateGreaterThanToday(./data [@alias=''dateField])] " />

    (untested!)

    Haven't done it, but you should be able to get the current date in XSLT via:

    <xsl:value-of select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:date()"/>

    Also a date diff is available:

    <xsl:value-of select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:difference('String start', 'String end')"/>

    Hehe, well, that was fast, I should check if other people have answered already ;-) At least I picked up a new technique from this. :D

    @Sebasitan Hey, so did I. Thanks for sharing the Exslt method as well.
