Date Expressions

FishEye supports a wide variety of date expressions. A date has the general form of either DATE[+-]TIMEZONE[+-]DURATION or DATECONSTANT[+-]DURATION. The TIMEZONE and DURATION parts are both optional.

TIMEZONE can be an offset from GMT HHMM or HH:MM, or simply the letter Z to denote GMT. If no timezone is given, then the FishEye server's configured timezone is used.

DATE can be either of the following:

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

Specifies a time and date (seperated by a T). The seconds part may contain a fractional component. A / can be used instead of - as a seperator.

YYYY-MM-DD

Specifies 00:00:00 on the given date. A / can be used instead of - as a seperator.

DATECONSTANT can be any of:

now

This very instant (at the time the expression was evaluated).

today
todaygmt

The instant at 00:00:00 today (server-time* or GMT)

thisweek
thisweekgmt

The instant at 00:00:00 on the first day of this week (Sunday is considered the first day) (server-time* or GMT)

thismonth
thismonthgmt

The instant at 00:00:00 on the first day of this month (server-time* or GMT)

thisyear
thisyeargmt

The instant at 00:00:00 on the first day of this year (server-time* or GMT)

* The timezone used for server-time is part of the FishEye configuration

The syntax for DURATION is similar to the XML Schema duration type. It has the general form PnYnMnDTnHnMnS. See Section 3.2.6 of the XML Schema Datatypes document for more details.
