I would like to show a content element (within a template) between two dates. I’ve setup two date TVs and a current time/date PHP snippet however I can’t seem to trigger a PHX greater or less than string.
[+phx:if=`[*myfromDate*]`:gt=`[!currentDateSnippet!]`:then=`{{showChunk}}`+]
Are there any existing snippets available to address my desired addition?
Thanks, Martin.

You probably need to convert those dates into timestamps before trying to compare them.
Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
The element I’m looking to show between a set dates is a special offer price, the date only applies to the price deduction and not the doc publish from to parameters which would remain unaffected.
I hope this helps.
Any further suggestions would be very welcome
You could use something like this snippet without using phx (with a little modding to fit your purpose)
<?php
$output ='';
// the name of the date TV
$date_tv_name ='my_date_tv';
// name of the chunk
$show_chunk_name ='FormLogin';
// get the tv date info
$tv_output = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array($date_tv_name));
// make the TV date info into a timestamp
$date_output = $modx->ToTimeStamp($tv_output[$date_tv_name]);
// get current timestamp
$current_time = time();
// if date tv is greater than current time, show chunk
if($date_output > $current_time){
$output .='{{'.$show_chunk_name.'}}';
}
return $output;
?>
