[SOLVED] getresources display different tplchunk if published date...

I am looking for a way to to display slightly different content inside a tplchunk if a newly added resource is only 30 days old. I've tried to work with the following info https://forums.modx.com/thread/82179/getresources-where-published-date-is-older-than however I am totally stumped.

I hava a calendar (with two different views) which is "upcoming" and "past events". "order" is by date ACS / DESC.

You want it different, changing just the tpl. Maybe you dont need to. Because: you have the TV which is nessesary to filter / select the upcoming / current events. So you can use that TV inside the tpl chunk like:

If the difference between today and date_of_document id >30d, then please write class="event old" instead of class="event current".

So you need the today snippet (which returns the current date) and an output modifier from here.

Cheers!

dateToday snippet


Like so ?

I would start that way, yes

Maybe the syntax isnt right yet, I can't tell. But this approach should work.

Try:
[[!getNow]]




Off the top of my head but i have done this many times.

I've tried both solutions - just keeps defaulting to "event old". All looks like both solutions should work. Any ideas?

I've tried a cached and uncached getResources call. [ed. note: northernape last edited this post 13 years, 3 months ago.]

Ohh.. the reason why is the chuck is grabbed during the get resources bad.

If you noticed I created a class change so that you could use the same layout but with a different class, which should give you what you want.

I did something similar here: http://www.z-cellular.com/ The first box has an added class based on the name of the Program being referred to.

I just placed it in the chunk where I needed it to change.

If your &sortBy field is "publishedon" too, you could use two different getResources calls with different chunks like this:

[[getResources? &parents=`1` &where=`{"publishedon:<=": [[!strtotime? &input=`-30 days`]] }` &tpl=`new_resources_tpl`]]

[[getResources? &parents=`1` &where=`{"publishedon:>=": [[!strtotime? &input=`-30 days`]] }` &tpl=`old_resources_tpl`]]

Chistian,
I like your thinking. However, the only possible problem I have with this route, my getResource call within on resource template is limited to '4'. Thanks, will give it a whirl.
