Hey, I just figured out how to do this yesterday!
In your sitemap, put in a transformer in your pipeline like this:
<map:transform src="stylesheet.xslt">
<map:parameter name='date'
value='{date:}'/>
</map:transform>
Then, in your XSLT, declare the parameter:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
. . .
<xsl:param name='date'/>
. . .
You might find that you want to change the format that the date
appears in. To do that, edit your cocoon.xconf file (which, if you're
like me, and running the installed web-app, is in
$COCOON_HOME/build/webapp/WEB-INF). Search for "DateInputModule".
Inside the "component-instance" element, uncomment the "format" element
child, and change the format string, the syntax of which is defined
here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html.
Now, what I'd like to know is, is there any way to use this module
to get different peices of the date (say, month and day, as separate
parameters). That seems to me that that would be easier than trying
to parse the date within XSLT.
Cheers!

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the documentation and examples on
DateInputModule are weak. I will experiment and write a wiki page if I get
something that works.

Gary,
There's a DateInputModule that you could use to inject the current date
into pipelines.

I'm trying to get the current date to compare against a Dublin core meta

value. I can do this with JavaScript and PHP, but I would like to do this
in
Cocoon. Is there any way to get the current date in Cocoon and use it to
compare against an element attribute value. I know enough about XSP, XSLT,
etc to do the comparison. I just need to know if I can get the current
date.
