Highly reccomend:

http://www.icdevgroup.org/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=ictags06%2e03

[convert_date fmt="%Y"][item field just_the_year_from_date][/convert_date]


Somewhat reccomend:

http://www.icdevgroup.org/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=ictags04%2e28

[filter 4][item field just_the_year_from_date][/filter]


If you are using Mysql and the query tag, you can format it in the query.

YEAR(just_the_year_from_date)


Or, with perl
