type casting: convert int <-> int64

[dunn]

This might be related to #255.

Take this template example from the Hugo docs:

<h4>Upcoming Events</h4>
<ul class="upcoming-events">
{{ range where .Data.Pages.ByDate "Section" "events" }}
  {{ if ge .Date.Unix .Now.Unix }}
    <li><span class="event-type">{{ .Type | title }} —</span>
      {{ .Title }}
      on <span class="event-date">
      {{ .Date.Format "2 January at 3:04pm" }}</span>
      at {{ .Params.place }}
    </li>
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Suppose I want to trigger the conditional if .Date.Unix plus a day (86,400 seconds) is greater than .Now.Unix. I tried add 86400 .Date.Unix, but I get the following error:

executing "indexes/events.html" at <.Date.Unix>: wrong type for value; expected int; got int64

How do I convert .Date.Unix to int, or 86400 to int64?

It would be useful if you posted the sample that DOESN'T work, and not just the working one.

Ha, sorry about that. I replaced {{ if ge .Date.Unix .Now.Unix }} with

  {{ if ge (add 86400 .Date.Unix) .Now.Unix }}

There has been fixes related to this done on several of the template methods (can't remember which); I just tested your construction on the latest code and it works fine.

[dunn]

Awesome, I was thinking I should start running the dev version anyway.

I should add that @spf13 has made some breaking changes lately, and you might wait until #609 and #610 is merged -- or pull them in yourself if master "blows up in your face".

Good luck -- running the latest version is more fun! Then you can fix stuff.
