This tag attempts to "intelligently" convert a date with a 2-digit year to its 4-digit equivalent. I wrote this tag to deal with users who entered their birthday using a 2-digit year, resulting in birth dates in the future, such as 2063-09-19.

Parameters

-date

string, required

Sample Usage

[pk_fourdigityear, -date='09/19/63'] -> 1963-09-19
