[TYPO3-mvc] Extbase/Fluid with DateTime objects

[Thomas "Thasmo" Deinhamer]

Ah, you got me rolling:

<f:if condition="{f:format.date(date: '{DateTime}', format: 'U')}">
	Output: {f:format.date(date: '{DateTime}', format: 'd.m.Y')}
</f:if>

The format 'U' returns the timestamp, so the if viewhelper returns
true if an integer is larger than zero. Using this, you can even
skip the empty 'then' viewhelper.

Hm, should't there be a better way of checking a valid DateTime object?
The bad thing is, that the timestamp of 0 (zero) is a valid timestamp?!

Is there another approach of 'disabling' the display of a
date or datetime field coming from the backend, which was NOT set?

Thanks,
Thomas
