[SOLVED] One more syntax that I can't get my head around in Auto Actions

So I want to check if a user is turning 18 this year, it will be run 31/10 of each year.
I've built this condition:
[cb:parse function="date" date-format="Y" date="+18 years" time="false"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse]] EQUAL TO [cb:parse function="date" time="false"][cb:date format="Y"/][/cb:parse]
The debugger gives me:
Condition 2 failed for 387: 2007 Lig med 01.01.1970
So the date function gives me 1970?

I also tried with
[cb:parse function="date" date-format="Y" date="+18 years" time="false"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse]] EQUAL TO [cb:parse function="time"][cb:date format="Y" /][/cb:parse]
But the time function returns ticks, and not the year

I also tried
[cb:parse function="time" date-format="Y" time="+18 years"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse] equal to [cb:parse function="time"][cb:date format="Y" /][/cb:parse]
And that got me a a bit closer, the debug gives me

Condition 2 failed for 391: 1519862400 Equal to 1486412220
Condition 2 failed for 392: 1488326400 Equal to 1486412220

The first is 17 years old, the latter will be 18 on march 1st, but it doesn't hit it either.

So how do I get it exactly right?

You don't need the date parser around the cb:date usage. It already formats it correctly. So in your case the below should compare their birthday +18 years against the current year.

[cb:parse function="date" date-format="Y" date="+18 YEARS" time="false"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse] EQUAL TO [cb:date format="Y" /]

Ok, I overdid it then

Now I get a different result for the first compare?

It doesn't add the 18 years to the date???
[cb:parse function="date" date-format="Y" date="+18 years" time="false"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse] Equal to [cb:date format="Y" /]
The user that is registered as being born in 1999 shows this in the debug:

Condition 2 failed for 392: 1999 Equal to 2017

So for some reason it doesn't add the 18 years?

Whoops that's the wrong parser function. That function just formats a date. It can't modify it. You're trying to do a strtotime operation, which means you need to use the time function. Below should work.

[cb:parse function="date" date-format="Y" time="false"][cb:parse function="time" time="+18 YEARS"][cb_birthday][/cb:parse][/cb:parse] Equal To [cb:date format="Y" /]

Darned, that is cool, so a double parse.
Thankyou, it works as I hoped!
