How to add days to ddwrt:today() in Xslt?

Question

<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:Today()">

I would like to add 7 days to the above code. please help

Answer 1

Have you tried

<xsl:value-of select="xs:date(ddwrt:Today()) + xs:dayTimeDuration(7)">

If this didn't work then the next easy approach is to use a Calculated Field and use it in the XSL.

Answer 2

I was able to solve this by adding ticks to Today, for example:

number(ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:GenDisplayName(string($Today))))+(864000000000*7)

and to check if a field is equal to 7 days from today:

number(ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:FormatDate(string($thisNode/@FieldName),1033,1))) = number(ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:GenDisplayName(string($Today))))+(864000000000*7)

and here is my entire xsl:if line:

<xsl:if test="number(ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:FormatDate(string($thisNode/@FieldName),1033,1))) = number(ddwrt:DateTimeTick(ddwrt:GenDisplayName(string($Today))))+(864000000000*7)">
   background-color: #FFFF00;
</xsl:if>
