Hmm I don't think you can use operator in the template if statements, but you could always create a method on your Page. This is assuming you're trying to just render the certain page itms in a template differntly
function OldPage() {
$date = $this->Date;
if ($date->Year() < 2009){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
This assumes you've saved the Date field in a proper date format and not as a some custom string. then you can use this in your template<% if OldPage %>
<% else %>
<% end_if %>
If you're trying to use a totally different page templates to render older pages just use the date check in your page index function
public function index() {
$date = $this->Date;
if ($date->Year() < 2009){
return $this->renderWith("OldPage");
} else {
return Array();
}This will render old pages with OldPage.ss while new pages with the default

hmm it didn't work. but i think i know why. because i'll use the function? if control? (don't know the right name) on the parent page? the date is written in a child page.
this is the code:
ReferencePage.php http://pastie.org/2286299 - where the date is saved
ReferencesPage.php http://pastie.org/2286316 - where i want to use the seperation by date
ReferencesPage.ss http://pastie.org/2286319i put your function in the ReferencePage.php and then i tried to use it inside <% control Children %>
but it didn't work
EDIT// can i also use the function like this
function OldPage() {
$date = $this->Date;
if ($date->Year() =< 2009){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}so everything with was saved in 2009 and before ?
EDIT2// The final Page should look like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------
- All References -
- -
- ########################## -
- After 2009 -
- New Ref 1, New Ref 2, New Ref 3, ... -
- ########################## -
- -
- ******************************** -
- Before 2009 -
- Old Ref1, Old Ref2, Old Ref3, ... -
- ******************************** -

----------------------------------------------------------------- -

My Fault, the Date Field isn't saved as Date Object this is teh function you need to use
function NewPage(){
$date = substr($this->ReleaseDate, 0, 4);
if ($date >= 2009){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
The date is saved in the following format YEAR-MO-DA so you need only pull the first 4 characters in the string and see if they're less than 2009Put that in your RefrencePage (not in the RefrencePage_controller)
then in RefrencesPage.ss you can use
<% control Children %>
<% if NewPage %>
New Refrence COde
<% else %>
Old Refrence Code
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %> -

If you change the date format you will need to change the substr() function.
DateFormat is set at the User Level, but I'm not sure if you change the content authors Date setting if it will save the data in the revised format or just output differently to the end user
http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/topics/configuration
EDIT
Just did a quick check and my date is up as MO/DA/YEAR but the Date field saves as YEAR-MO-DABut you can use $Date.NiceUS to change it in the template
