如何从tpl文件中的timedate获取年份作为字符串？

Question

in tpl file for example

{$listings.activation_date} = 2013-12-20 20:46:10

and when use this:

[[$listings.activation_date]]=12.20.2013

how to use :

{assign var=foo value='12.20.2013'}

{if $foo == [[$listings.activation_date]]}

this does not work and throws back this error:

Fatal error! Your request can not be executed!

and another question is how to get today time in tpl file.

Answer 1

To get date in tpl file in your php file use this

$smarty->assign('currentDate', $date("Y-m-d"));

in tpl file

<h1>{$currentDate}</h1> //prints <h1>2013-12-21</h1>

And why are you using [[]] brackets in tpl code?

why not use like this

{assign var=foo value='12.20.2013'}
{if $foo == $listings.activation_date}
