Hi,
I need to show the date of tomorrow in my template.
Does anybody know how to do this?

Hi,

If you need to display only the date, you can try this :

{currentdate()|l10n( datetime )}

(this is from the demo version).

Hi, sorry for the delay. I've been really busy.

Anyway, Laurent, you misunderstood my question.

Nevertheless, I found a solution for making it so I'm posting in case it's useful for other people

What I needed was to display the date of tomorrow, i.e. today is December 15, I need to write December 16.

Well it's kind of a dirty hack but it's the best I could find.

Firs of all edit eztemplateautoload.php, located in /kernel/common, and add the following function

function tomorrow()
{
$tomorrow = mktime (0,0,0,date("m") ,date("d")+1,date("Y"));
return ($tomorrow);
}

Then edit template.ini locate under /settings:
Locate the section
PHPOperatorList[]

and add the line

PHPOperatorList[tomorrow]=tomorrow

now you can call the function in your template using something like this

{tomorrow()|datetime(custom,"%l %j %F %Y")}

I hope this is useful for other people.
By the way, if you have a better way to do this thing, post it ;)
