hi,

i did a simple hack in the html_select_date plugin that you can select a specific date, instead of the actual date, using a timestamp as a parameter.

if anyone want the hack, reply me.
or, if the smarty project like this feature, i will be really happy to help. : )

thanks!

No hack needed, use the time attribute.

Mhort,

I read that in the Doc, too, but how would I use $time to get a selection for Month/Day (Year optional) 14 days from today???

Thanks,

Ilir.

{html_select_date time="+14 days"}

This isn't a Smarty-specific syntax btw, this takes anything parsible by strftime(), so see the PHP documentation for the details.

{"-30 days"|strtotime|date_format:"%m"}

mohrt,

Big thanks again, this was EXACTLY what I needed. Is there documentation that I am missing that explains how this is possible? Perhaps via PHP.net or something

BTW: {"-30 days"|date_format:"%m"} should be enough. since date_format uses strtotime internally to convert "-30 days" to a timestamp.

hi

the posts above were very useful but now i have another problem. i want to select the year 4 years ago. i did it with

{html_select_date prefix="dateFrom" time="-4 years" start_year="-4" display_days=false}

but this code wont work.

any idea?

only the time attribute respects strtotime(), othewise you have to do it manually (or assign $start_year from PHP)
