How can I subtract/add/multiple/etc… template variables? All of the addons I see don’t specifically show examples with template variables.
I tried something as simple as (with php in templates enabled):
<?php echo (int) "{event_start_date}" - (int) "{event_pre_event_duration}" ?>It just returns {event_start_date}.

When I try that I end up with
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(656) : eval()'d code on line 4I’m going to take it out of the embed and see if that does anything.

Ah crud I figured it out by debugging the Function.php. Fieldtype was set to xhtml so I was getting 0.
