Hi Nuno,

The SetTag method on a Template V2 that accepts a date has code like this:

public void SetTag(string Name, DateTime Value)
{
  if (Name.StartsWith("Global:") || this.HtmlHasPartialTag(Name))
  {
    this.SetTag(Name + "", Value.ToShortDateString());
    this.SetTag(Name + ".Day", DateAndTime.DatePart(DateInterval.Day, Value, FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday, FirstWeekOfYear.Jan1));
    this.SetTag(Name + ".Hour", DateAndTime.DatePart(DateInterval.Hour, Value, FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday, FirstWeekOfYear.Jan1));
    ....
  }
}

For some reason, your tag name has to start with Global....

BTW, turns out it doesn't have to start with Global. Apparently, the second condition evaluates to true....

Hi Imar,

That's what we came up with. It could be a good idea to have a special SetDateTimeTag that would do all of it automatically.
 

Thanks,
Nuno

Template.SetTag has 6 overloads. One of them takes a value parameter as Date - that will automatically make the date time extensions.

Just make sure you pass the date as a Date object and not a string...

Hi Nicolai,

Perfect. Thanks a lot.
