Hi, I am trying to use Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:parsedate in my XSLT file, but I can't seem to get the right syntax for the second argument. I have tried all of the following without it returning any values: Code:
<xsl:variable name="ES_M" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:parsedate($EventDateStart, Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:gMonth)"/>
<xsl:variable name="EE_M" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:parsedate($EventDateEnd, 'MM')"/>
<xsl:variable name="ES_D" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:parsedate($EventDateStart, '---DD')"/>
<xsl:variable name="EE_D" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:parsedate($EventDateEnd, 'gDay')"/>
Does anyone know what I should use as the second argument to return the month or the day? Thanks, Heather

Hi, Heather, I haven't looked into your specific question (meaning, I've never used the function you're talking about), but maybe there's another way to skin the cat... umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(). It takes a param to specify the format of the date/time that is very flexible. Here's an example of it in use for sorting, seems like it could be used just as easily for variables. http://forum.umbraco.org/20383Info on the params are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Reference/umbraco.library/FormatDateTimecheers, doug.

Hi Doug, Thanks for the idea. I never thought of using the format function to get just a single part of a date, but possibly that works. I did figure out an alternative way - using monthinyear and dayinmonth: Code: <xsl:variable name="ES_M" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:monthinyear($EventDateStart)"/>
<xsl:variable name="EE_M" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:monthinyear($EventDateEnd)"/>
<xsl:variable name="ES_D" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:dayinmonth($EventDateStart)"/>
<xsl:variable name="EE_D" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:dayinmonth($EventDateEnd)"/> I would still be interested to know how to use parsedate, though, since it could still be useful for something else in the future... Thanks again, Heather
