Hi list,
usually I do something stupid and then ask for your help;) so this
time I though it would be wise to ask before doing something "not
good":)
So I have to handle poneys and horses (yes it's funny), and they have
something very specific:
These "items" aren't 1 year old when they have 12 month!
In fact they get 1 year old when they cross their first "new year",
so if it has born on december 29th it will be 1 year old only 3 days
after...
And I have to manage "categories" depending of their "age".
So my question is regarding the clever way to handle that.
I've got their date of birth in database. I don't think I can handle
something like their "official age" directly in the EOModel (but I
may be wrong), so I think I have to handle that directly in code.
Quite some items are already in the database, but maybe it would be
good to handle this when they insert the item like having another
attribute "official date of birth" which will be set to the previous
new year and so doing the "regular" calculation on this attribute and
not on the "real" date of birth.
Or handling all this when generating the list only.
Any advice on this is greatly appreciated, or pointer to specific
method that would be of help:)
Thanks
Xavier
