Thanks!!!! that did the trick... <dtml-if "_.str(nl_goLiveDate) == ZopeTime().strftime('%Y/%m/%d')"> also found out that <dtml-if "nl_goLiveDate.strftime('%Y/%m/%d') == ZopeTime().strftime('%Y/%m/%d')"> works as well.

If your nl_goLiveDate is a date, then you might need to str() the variable <dtml-if "_.str(nl_goLiveDate)=='2000/11/16'">

...

Could someone tell me why the follow statement is never true.

<dtml-in "news.objectValues(['newsLetters'])" sort="nl_goLiveDate"> <dtml-if "nl_goLiveDate == '2000/11/16'"> <h2><dtml-var nl_subject> - <dtml-var nl_goLiveDate></h2> <p> <dtml-var nl_body fmt=structured-text> </p> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>

The news folder contains several newsletters and one of them DOES have a 'nl_goLiveDate' of 2000/11/16 yet the above express seems to be always false. What obvious mistake am I making?

Ideally I would like the page to show only the newsletter that has the same date as today's date.
