I'm using liquid inside a Microsoft CRM Portal. I want to get the seconds from the date and then do some operations with them, but I'm experiencing a few issues.
In order to get the seconds according to this site: I have to use the filter "%S", but when I do that all I get is the capital letter S. According to the same site if I use the filter "%s" I should get the time in seconds from the epoch, but that actually gives me the seconds. So I'm using the line:
{% assign seconds = "now" | date:"%s" %}
If I try to use the operation plus: on the result, instead of adding 5, it concatenates 5 at the end. According to this post date returns a string. (In the same, post it also says that math should work on a string if it is only a number and that "%s" should return the unix time, but I can't get these parts to work).
According to this post a string can be converted to an integer by multiplying it by 1 or adding 0. Adding 0 doesn't work, because it concatenates it at the end. On the other hand multiplying by 1 seems to work, but then if I try to add a number to the result, I get an error message : "Liquid error: Parameter count mismatch.
Here is the full code :
Share
Report{% assign seconds = "now" | date:"%s" %}
{% assign test1 = seconds | plus:5 %}
<p>{{test1}}</p>
{% assign test2 = seconds | times:1 %}
<p>{{test2}}</p>
{% assign test3 = test2 | plus:10 %}
<p>{{test3}}</p>
and Here is the output:
305

Liquid error: Parameter count mismatch
I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me figure it out.
Thank you
I managed to make it work with :
{% assign seconds = now | date: '%s' | integer %}
{% assign test1 = seconds | plus: 5 %}
