hallo,

after reading a while, i was trying to access children of an EventHolderPage from within that page. but my function seem's not to work. thus i think this is basic functionality. what do i make wrong?
here is the code:
EventHolder.php:
<?php

class EventHolder extends SiteTree {
static $db = array(
);
static $has_one = array(
);

static $allowed_children = array('EventPage');
}

class EventHolder_Controller extends ContentController {
function init() {
parent::init();
}

function validEvents()
{
return DataObject::get('EventPage', "Verfallsdatum > " . date('Y-m-d'));
}
}

in EventHolder.ss i try the following:

<% control validEvents %>
<div><h2 style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; font-family: Arial;">$Ueberschrift</h2></div>
<div style="width: 530px;">$Bild.SetWidth(100) $Content</div>
<div style="clear: both">&nbsp;</div>
<% end_control %>

the result is every event-page is shown no matter which value i use as condition.
i think there is no mistake inside the code, may be the system clock of my provider goes wrong?
Thank you,

rather then usingn date() you best bet is to use MySQL Friendly NOW() so you would rewrite that as

function validEvents() { 
return DataObject::get('EventPage', "Verfallsdatum > NOW()"); 
}
