Answered Highlight recent items with class

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

I think I wrote a blog post on this, but I can't find it.

Basically, your snippet would send the publishedon or createdon field as a property and the snippet would return the correct class.

This would go in the row Tpl chunk where you want the class to appear:

class="[[!RecentCheck? &interval=`1 week` &publishedon=`[[+publishedon]]`]]"

Here's the snippet code (untested):

<!--?php
/* RecentCheck snippet */
$output = 'non_recent';

$interval = $modx--->getOption('interval', $scriptProperties, '1 week');
$pd = $modx->getOption('publishedon', $scriptProperties, '');

$cutoffTime = strtotime('now - ' . $interval);
 
if ($cutoffTime === false) {
    $output = '[RecentCheck] Invalid interval';
} else {
    $ptime = strtotime($pd);

    $currentTime = time();

    if ($ptime > $cutoffTime) {
        /* Yes, it's recent -- Set the return value */
            $output = 'recent';
    }

}
return $output;

It's part of PHP's strtotime() function, which converts a human-readable date into a Unix timestamp (a huge number of seconds). strtotime() understands lots of interesting text descriptions like "+ 1 week," "-3 months", "now - 2 days", "next thursday," "last friday," etc.
