I implemented 4 kind of special values, which will be computed:

curdate() - like mysql
curtime() - like mysql
now() - like mysql

current():
If this value is given, the computed value will be taken from an context' metaobject indicated by left operand. e.g.
"language is current" will retrive the value from $campsite->language->number.
An ListObject::$s_parameter have to be defined, like:
public static $s_parameters = array('language' => array('field' => 'fk_language_id', 'type' => 'integer'), ...)

You can take a look at the code here:

Best,
Sebastian

Hi,

for some lists I need to add contraints to check the current user id and the
current date. This complicates the template code:

{{ assign var='_now' value=$smarty.now|camp_date_format:'%Y-%m-%d' }}
{{ list_interviews constraints="user_id is `$campsite->user->number` status
is pending questions_begin smaller `$_now` questions_end greater `$_now`
language_id is `$campsite->language->number`"}}


I think an better way would be to introduce an special values like "current"
or "now" for ComparisionOperation::$m_right_operant. This value is just an
keyword, and the the ComparisionOperation class have to retrive the real
value by itself from the CampContext.

The above template code would be:
{{ list_interviews constraints="user_id is current status is pending
questions_begin smaller now questions_end greater now language_id is
current"}}

What you think?

Sebastian

P.S. May to make it clear that "current" and "now" are functions, they
should be "current()" and "now()".
