Introduction

This product add a new criteria for dates inside Plone, someway similar to the "Relative date" ones, but beeing able to perform some impossible search if using standard date criteria.

What you can't do with the default Plone relative criteria is configure a Collection that:

• show all events that begin today
• show all news published this month
• show all file modified this year
• ... and so on.

The today, this month and this year values change automatically.

How to use

The new criteria displays a simple selection between:

• Today
• This year
• This month

Where those values are relative to the current date.

Going back to first example of the previous section: at 12:55 PM of January 21 I will see an event that starts at 8 AM of January 21. As soon as I visit the Collection again at midnight of January 22 I will no see the event again, but automatically begin to see all events that starts January 22

Requirements

Tested with Plone 3.3.

TODO

• More tests (the few there are GMT+1 specific)
• Right now the calculation of dates is crappy. Think about replace the DateTime use with standard datetime module. Are Collection still working with datetime?
• Adding Plone 4 compatibility
• Translations issues (I fear will be worst when using on Plone 4)
