I have a custom field which is a date field called deadline.
Now i wanna show those entries which have the deadline of today’s date.

i tried something like this but with no success, does somebody has a idea?
Thank you already for your time.

{if deadline == "{current_time format="%d/%m/%y"}"}
...
{/if}

note: the date is not the standard date field, but a custom field.

As date fields are stored with hours minutes and seconds too in Unix timestamp format then the above code won’t work as you will be comparing a quite large number against what isn’t really a number but an artificial date.

What you’ll need to do to get this working is something like this :

{if "{deadline format='%d/%m/%y'}" == "{current_time format='%d/%m/%y'}"}
Do this…
{/if}

This will then take both dates and create them into the same format for you essentially stripping the hours, minutes and seconds from both instead of just the current_time variable.

Hope that helps a bit.

Perfect! That is the way to do it. Thank you.

No problem at all. Glad that got you all sorted.
