Answered Highlight recent items with class

Hi

I have a video gallery, and I want to add a 'new' flash to any videos published in the last seven days. I can do this with CSS, so just need to add a class, but unsure on how to add it. I'm thinking it's an output filter?

Thanks
Andy

I think the important question is how do you manage your videos? Whatever solution you choose depends on your management system

Can you please provide more details here - code, chunks etc. in order someone to help you.

Good point. I'm using simple resources with a TV for the youtube Id - so each resource has it's own publish date. I want to use that somehow to calculate when it's less than a week old.

Does that make sense?

Apologies - Im use getresources as so:

[[!getResources?
&parents=`[[*id]]`
&limit=`1000`
&processTVs=`1`
&includeTVs=`1`
&showHidden=`1`
&tpl=`singleYoutubeVideo`
]]

Then my tpl is this:

<li>
<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=[[+tv.YouTubeID]]?&autoplay=1&iframe=true&width=900&height=500" title="[[+YoutubeHeading]]">
<p>Published: [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %Y`]]</p>
<h2>[[+pagetitle:ellipsis=`100`]]</h2>
</a>
</li>

All working fine, and I have the published date - so just need to calculate whether the resource is less than one week old?

You'd need a script to evaluate the pub date and output the class if its within 7 days - i had one at my old company which did exactly the same thing - however I no longer have access to that resource.

You might give this a try (change &limit to however many you want to show):

[[!getResources?
    &parents=`[[*id]]`
    &limit=`10`
    &sortby=`publishedon`
    &sortDir=`DESC`
    &processTVs=`1`
    &includeTVs=`1`
    &showHidden=`1`
    &tpl=`singleYoutubeVideo`
]]

Thanks Bob - the sorting is fine - it's just that i want to add a label to all new resources (ie, under a week old). Seems like i need a snippet which calculates the age and outputs a class to the li?

Yes precisely - but that's the bit I don't know how to do!

Cant help you there i'm afraid, I had a look to see if i still had the script in my mail but doesnt look like it sorry
