I want to create a page containing a query that has:

{if expiration_date="x"}

content

{/if}

where “x” is the a particular expiration date.

The problem is, I don’t know how to enter the date. I have run queries that display dates on a page without assigning any particular formatting (i.e., I did not include format=”%M %d” or anything like that), and I do see this long string of numbers, but I do not know what the numbers in the string represent or what order they appear in.

Would someone please tell me how to “call” the date I want by sharing the numeric string I need to enter for the month, day, year, and time?

If you send me a string, please tell me which digits represent what.

Thank you so much for your help!

Best wishes,

That long string is actually a Unix timestamp. It represents the number of seconds that have passed between the Unix Epoch (January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT) and the time specified.

I don’t think this will help you ...

But amazingly you can actually do a conditional check using the date formatting like

{if "{expiration_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}" == "2007-12-01"}

content

{/if}

Wow! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
