I need to compare todays date, with the date stored in the userprofile.
I've used this conditional:
[cb:parse function="time"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse] EQUAL TO [cb:parse function="time"][cb:date format="Y-m-d" /][/cb:parse]

The [cb_birthday] field is stored as Y-m-d?

With debugging I can see that it's very different from what I expected.

Best regards

Sorry, damned, I forgot that I need to exclude the YEAR, otherwise it will never match their birthday, dooh!

So now I'm looking into comparing the field to todays date, but how do I reformat the field for the comparison?
I tried
[cb:date format="m-d" /][cb_birthday]
and
[cb:parse [date format="m-d" /]][cb_birthday][/cb:parse]
and
[cb:parse date format="m-d" /][cb_birthday][/cb:parse]
and also
[cb:userdata field="cb_birthday" format="m-d" /]
even
[cb:parse function="date"][cb:userdata field="cb_birthday" format="m-d" /][/cb:parse]

EQUAL TO [cb:parse function="date"][cb:date format="m-d" /][/cb:parse]

None of these works :-(

Best regards

You need to parse it into month and day then compare it to current month and day. Below should work.

[cb:parse function="date" date-format="m-d" time-format=""][cb_birthday][/cb:parse] Equal To [cb:date format="m-d" /]

Hmm, nope, that gave me this in the debugger:
Betinget 2 fejlede for 75: [cb:parse function="date" date-format="m-d" time-format=""]1968-07-19[/cb:parse] Lig med 01-30

Hmm, doesn't seam to like time-format being empty yet that's the only way to turn off time parsing. Ok, implementing a new parameter to turn off time and that should solve that. You'll use the below in next build.

[cb:parse function="date" date-format="m-d" time="false"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse]

Was able to confirm it formats it correctly now using the above. This should be available later today or early tomorrow.
