Help needed with a date function problem

[Earion1]

Hi everyone..

I have a custom tag titled "thisdate"

My application calls for the week to end on Friday, so my date display
looks like... saturday (date) sunday (date) etc.. ending with Friday.
However, when my code displays, the end of the week, (Friday) reads LAST
friday's date as opposed to this upcomming Friday's date.

I am at a lost... can anyone look at the custom tag code and the page code
and see where I am making the mistake here?

Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks!


thisdate custom tag
<cfset todayfoward = attributes.time>
<cfset todaybackward = attributes.time>
<cfset theDayofWeek = attributes.theDayofWeek>
<cfset foward = false>
<CFLOOP Index = "i" From="1" to="7">
<cfif dateformat(todayfoward,"dddd") is theDayofWeek><cfset
foward=true><cfbreak></cfif>
<cfif dateformat(todaybackward,"dddd") is theDayofWeek><cfset
foward=false><cfbreak></cfif>
<cfset todayfoward=dateadd('d',1,todayfoward)>
<cfset todaybackward=dateadd('d',-1,todaybackward)>
</CFLOOP>
<cfif foward>
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(todayfoward,"dddd mmmm d, yyyy")#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(todaybackward,"dddd mmmm d, yyyy")#</cfoutput>
</cfif>

Code to display...

For the week ending <lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="friday" time="#now()#">
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="saturday" time="#now()
#"></th>
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="sunday" time="#now()#"></th>
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="monday" time="#now()#"></th>
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="tuesday" time="#now()
#"></th>
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="wednesday" time="#now()
#"></th>
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="thursday" time="#now()
#"></th>
<th scope="col"><lf:thisdate theDayofWeek="friday" time="#now()#"></th>
:confused;

You can use the following to give you a Saturday thru Friday date display.

<cfset TheDate = "4/26/2005">
<cfset StartSaturday = DateAdd("d", - 6, DateAdd("d",6 -
DayOfWeek(TheDate),TheDate))>
<cfloop index="idx" from="0" to="6">
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(DateAdd("d",idx,StartSaturda y),"dddd mmmm d,
yyyy")#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>

If "TheDate" is a Saturday, you will need to figure out how you want to handle
that.
