Query WHERE statement to compare db record date pt 2

Report · Jun 14, 2009

I'm sorry, I hit the answered button on my last post. I didn't mean to. I have been working on this code and have gotten closer to the solution. I just need to tweek out the WHERE statement to get rid of the time from the output, and I believe my cfif needs a little work to allow it to be taken into the actually dates. I cfdumped my variables from my query and finally got an output and not an [empty string]. This is my code now, and I will leave in the cfdump and abort tags so you can see where I put them:

<cfquery name="CaleventRec" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">
SELECT events.eventDate, events.ID AS ID
FROM events
WHERE eventDate Between #NextMonthYear# and #NextMonth# AND eventDate >= #dateFormat(Days, 'dd')#

</cfquery>

this is my cfif stement

this is the whole code:

<cfquery name="CaleventRec" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">
SELECT events.eventDate, events.ID AS ID
FROM events
WHERE eventDate Between #NextMonthYear# and #NextMonth# AND eventDate >= #dateFormat(Days, 'dd')#

</cfquery>
                        
                        <cfset ThisDay = 0>
                        
                        <cfloop condition = "ThisDay LTE Days">
                            <tr>

                            
                            <cfloop from = "1" to = "7" index = "LoopDay">
                            
                              <cfoutput query="CaleventRec">
          <cfdump var="#eventDate#">
                               <cfabort>
          <cfif Days EQ '#eventDate#'>
                               <a href = "detail.cfm?id=#ID#">#Days#</a>
                               </cfif>
          </cfoutput>

                            <!---

If ThisDay is still 0, check to see if the current day of the week in the loop matches the day of the week for the first day of the month.
                                If the values match, set ThisDay to 1.
                                Otherwise, the value will remain 0 until the correct day of the week is found.

                            </tr>
                    </cfloop>

the output from the cfdump is this: the first event date in the month of june.

I need this to match the thisday part of the code in the cfloop function through the days of the week.

Can anyone help me figure this part out?

thank you, and really sorry about the 2nd post. I just woke up and hit the wrong button. again, really sorry all.

This

WHERE eventDate Between #NextMonthYear# and #NextMonth# AND eventDate >= #dateFormat(Days, 'dd')#

is bad.

I assume eventDate is a date. However, dateformat returns a string. Can you explain in simple english what you are trying to accomplish? If it's selecting dates without the time portion, many db's have functions that do that. They have names like string and to_char. The specifics vary with the db.

This is a small calendar. it will move to the next month at the end of this one, it can also go to the next month with a next / prev button that will let you go as far as you want. It is like all we have seen before. What I need to do it get the eventDate in my DB, that is set as date and put in as mm/dd/yyyy now, basically what I believe the query needs to do it to not only tell what month the calendar is on, but it needs to match any db records with any of the days in that month. Say we are in June: I have 3 records in June, on the 5th, 20th, and 26th. In all the 31 days in the month of June, just those 3 will show a link with an ID to the record that matches in the DB.

I had it narrowed down with that query, but lose the variable once I try and cfif it. So I knew either my query is wrong, or my cfif is, probably both.

does that help? can I make this work? am I even close?

thank you.

By the way, here is the entire code with the next / prev nav for cycling through the months.

This is how I get data for the current month

StartDate = CreateDate(year(now()), month(now()), 1);

EndDate = DateAdd("m", 1, StartDate);

select somefields

from sometables

where somedatefield >= #StartDate# and somedatefield < #EndDate#

ok. si If i make this into cfsets, that will probably get my month issue,What I am thinking is that I am trying to compair a number to a date. The calendar being the number, and the db using the actual date..

If we use this, and filter out the month of june from the records, how do we go to the day (dd) and make it into a number that we can compair to the days of the month?So lets say this is one part of half the problem.

right now, it seems the query I am using, that is tied into the next / prev function, that is right now, taking june records, but I am not getting it to convert the day into a number.

I have been reading live docs and I found this date compairison tag. I was working on tweeking this up to see if I could use this to solve the date problem. It is throwing an error, and was wondering if this wold help to finish this off and compair the date in the db and the date in a calendaer.This is how i set it up:

This is the tag to compare: <cfset comparison = DateCompare(#eventDate#, #Days#, d)>

<cfquery name="CaleventRec" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">
SELECT events.eventDate, events.ID AS ID
FROM events
WHERE eventDate Between #NextMonthYear# and #NextMonth#
</cfquery>

This is the error I am getting:

Variable D is undefined.


The error occurred in C:\website\event\index.cfm: line 169
167 : <!--- This turns each day into a hyperlink if it is a current or future date ---> 168 : <cfoutput query="CaleventRec"> 169 : <cfset comparison = DateCompare(#eventDate#, #Days#, d)>

The D is supposed to narrow the comparison down to the exact day. well, that's what I got from reading the live docs.
Can anyone help me make this work?Thanks

Quick Update:I have it dumping the day as a number up to my cfif statement, in the proper month. Can someone help me get it farther? I need to lopp through the records for all the records that match up for the month they are looking at.

I corrected the code to get it doing where it is now. The error is not happening anymore. But my cfif statement is not working properly.
Can anyone help please.
