Well, I am embarrassed to admin that this issue was 100% user error.
I recently set up a dev and production server and copied everything
from the old production server to the two new servers.
I was testing the search results page on dev, that's the page that
generates the links to the pages that I'm having issue with (they
appear in a pop up, BTW). While the search results page was on dev the
actual page that was having the age issue was on production. So as I
edited the templates for the age pages on dev it was not updating
production so that's why i couldn't get the simple "if" statements to
work. I had full absolute URLS to the age pages, they've been changed
to relative URLS to prevent this from happening.
There is, however, a bright side to my ignorance. The suggestions to
update the template tag filter were right on. I use this filter a lot
so it makes more since to have a built in fail safe rather than
checking in the templates each time.
Thanks a bunch,
Dummy
