The DateDiff extension adds the #dates
parser function that returns a list of intermediary days.
UsageEdit
The #dates
parser function comes with two parameters |StartDate
and |EndDate
which is used as follows:
- Syntax
{{#dates:|StartDate=2016/10/01 |EndDate=2016/10/02 }}
- Result
2016-10-01T00:00:00+02:00,2016-10-02T00:00:00+02:00
ExamplesEdit
A typical use case are events in a semantic setup that span multiple days. In order to have the events appear on all days on a calendar provided by the Semantic Result Formats extension, you would use something like (requires the ParserFunctions extension):
{{#ifeq: {{{recurring}}} |no |{{#set: Has date={{#dates:|StartDate={{{from}}} |EndDate={{{till}}} }} |+sep=, }} }}
Number of days between two days (requires the Arrays extension):
{{#arraydefine:days|{{#dates:|StartDate=2015-04-01 |EndDate=2015-04-10 }} }}
{{#arraysize:days}}
