Hello! I want to display the days between a set date from section settings to today, and the assign function is not reading the id, would appriciate the help! {%- assign dateStart = section.settings.date_started | date: ‘%s’ -%} {%- assign nowTimestamp = ‘now’ | date: ‘%s’ -%} {%- assign diffSeco…

@Maria80 I think the following Code was your basis {% assign dateStart = product.created_at | date: '%s' %} {% assign nowTimestamp = 'now' | date: '%s' %} {% comment %} difference in seconds {% endcomment %} {% assign diffSeconds = nowTimestamp | minus: dateStart %} {% comment %} difference in da…

Hey! Thank you for your quick response, I fixed all the issues you’ve mention, but now I get only 0 instead of days, do you know what could have caused that? [Screenshot 2022-12-12 120339.png]

What kind of Input are you using? Since there is no date input in the schema of a section, I assume you are using a number? You can check the Input options here: https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/settings/input-settings

I use text input :slightly_smiling_face: and I wrote the date like this 12/10/2022

I inserted" | t " next to the id, now it is readable by the liquid, but it shows me a wrong number :disappointed_face: [Maria80_0-1670843409678.png] [Screenshot 2022-12-12 121021.png]

@Maria80 unfortunately, Shopify will not recognize that as a date. What is the general idea/goal behind this code? Do you want to add a countdown-timer?

Oh okay! so the goal is to calculate when someone started a challenge, so if they started on 01/12/2022, I would like it to display “D12”. and then calculate it until it’s day 185, then there is gonna be an icon with a check.

Where do you want to display this information? On the Homepage or on product page?

It is a seperate page called memebers, the section you saw with socials and a text from people who are doing the challenge :slightly_smiling_face:
