I am creating an event calendar, and would like to display the date of
the event.
Some events take place on only one day, while some take place over
multiple days.
I would like only one date to display for single day events, and for
multiday events, I would like to display both the start date of the
event and the end date.
I have tried using the following statement in my template:
<h3>Date:{{Event.start_DateTime|date:"l N j" }}{%ifnotequal
Event.start_DateTime|date Event.end_DateTime|date %} -
{{Event.end_DateTime|date:"l N j" }}{% endifnotequal %}</h3>
where start_DateTime and end_DateTime are both DateTimeFields.
Now, when I test it, I get some strange behavior.
With "ifnotequal" and the |date filter,
--both the multiday and singleday events only display one day.
with "ifequal" and the |date filter
--both multiday and singleday events display two days (start and end)
with ifnotequal and no date filter
--both multiday and single day events display two days
with ifequal and no date filter
--both multiday and singleday events display one day
questions:
why is there uniformity? Why do both act in concert?
What effect does the |date filter have? (I originally used it because
i figured that the two DateTime objects wouldn't have the same Time,
and so would evaluate to not being equal)
Is there any way to get this working the way I envision it?
Thanks for your time and patience.
