DwTemplateTags required for Datetime to work in loop?

For some reason my tags in a loop that are set with Datetime doesent work without dwtemplatetags' tag present in the loop? Is it mismatch off some files on my end or is it a general bug i wonder? (Rest of the tags inside and outside the loop work's fine without the dwtemplatetag)

Hi Jais,

Can you post the code you're using? Also, have you tried upgrading to the latest release to see if the problem then goes away?

Cheers,

Hi Imar, heres a code snippet from GetContent

 public override string GetContent()
        {
            Template template = new Template("codesquare/twitter/" + Properties.get_Value("template"));
            string username =  this.Properties.get_Value("username");
            var statuses = Twitter.Managers.StatusManager.GetAllStatuses(username);
            User u = Managers.UserManager.GetUserInformation(username);

            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:username", username);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userCreateDate", u.CreateDate);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userDescription", u.Description);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:followersCount", u.FollowersCount);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userId", u.Id);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userImageUrl", u.ImageUrl);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userLocation", u.Location);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userStatusCount", u.StatusCount);
            template.SetTag("codesquare-twitter:userUrl", u.Url);

            SetTagItemLoop(template, statuses);
            return template.Output();
        }

The CreateDate property on the user object is a DateTime object.

According to http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/downloads/dynamicweb-8.aspx i'm running the latest stable version i believe? Should i go for a "unstable" version?

I see what you mean, and I can reproduce the problem. This looks like a bug to me that you may want to report, I can work around it by not using - in the tag name, but a period. E.g.:

template.SetTag("codesquare.twitter:userCreateDate", u.CreateDate);

>> Should i go for a "unstable" version?

I think for new sites (not upgrades) the 8.1 branch is considered stable as well.

Cheers,

Imar
