Show last year and next year in user macro

frithjof falck

Could anyone explain how to show last year and next year in a user macro. I tried to subtract and add but was not able to convert the string to an integer before the arithmetic operation

#set ($thisYear = $action.dateFormatter.formatGivenString("yyyy",$content.currentDate) )

#set ($lastYear = $thisYear - 1)

$lastYear

Hi @frithjof falck 

If that code is working and you only need to cast as integer, see if this works: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2156502/how-to-convert-string-into-integer-in-the-velocity-template 

 

Kind regards,
