I have a date field (date) in my entry and I wish to get all entries of a specified year. Can’t figure it out at all. Here’s what I have now, to sort them by that field: 

craft.entries.section('evenements').order('date desc')

My "year" is passed to the page through routing and is named "year". I can get that.

Thanks

Looks like I finally found an answer to it

year being my param

date being my custom date field

{% set dateParam = 'and, >= ' ~ year ~ '-01-01, < ' ~ (year + 1) ~ '-01-01' %}
<ul>
    {% for entry in craft.entries.section('evenements').order('date desc').date(dateParam) %}
        <li><a href="{{ entry.url }}">{{ entry.title }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

  • Curiously, does that work? I would think you'd need to pass an array into that param, like this: {% set dateParam = ['and', '>= ' ~ year, '< ' ~ (year + 1)] %}

  • Well, it does work like I wrote it. But, it works the way you did it too. I get the exact same results both ways. Interesting... Keeping your way in my code though, it is definitely cleaner.

  • Cool. Where did you find the example/inspiration for feeding a string into the date param?

  • p.s. I double-checked with Brad. He confirmed that date parameters accept a string or an array by design: DateFieldType's modifyElementsQuery calls DbHelper::parseDateParam() and the first thing that does is convert the value to an array if it's not one: github.com/pixelandtonic/Craft-Release/blob/master/app/helpers/… — Pretty cool!

  • I found it on another question here somewhere. I can't remember how I found it though. I repurposed the answer to my situation and it worked.
