texte = Many thanks to the help from the fellow webcat'ers for answers to my other questions! I thought I share a workaround I found for handling range search on dates in the old yyyy/mm/dd format. This works as a string compare, but it is handled properly because of the format.Basically you perform your search using the search action from one end of the range ala something like:In your starting tmpl you have (where your field is labelled gendata, endgendate is just a variable passed on to the following tmpl):Starting from date of but ending before Then on your resultant tmpl you have something like:[founditems][showif [Gendate]<[EndGenDate]]....[/showif][/founditems]This works great! Any hope for the new webcat version supporting <= (¾) and >= („) compares?Curt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | William Curt Eggemeyer Curt@mail.bzzzzzz.com | | BeeHive Technologies, Inc. | | http://www.bzzzzzz.com with a WebCam in Pasadena, California | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
