getResources tvFilters on a Definite Interval of Future Dates

@debussy and others suggest a method of filtering Resources relative to current date. See: http://forums.modx.com/thread/43727/getresources-to-show-current-and-future-events#dis-post-419669

I've done this, and it works fine:However, I want to further restrict Resources. I want the set of those Resources bearing a date TV three months or less in the future. This does the job, ugly though it may be:That's right, the average number of seconds in three months is 7889400. Since months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, there is some "jitter" in this quick & dirty approach, but it works well enough for my particular use case.

By the way, only after careful experiment did I learn about continuing a multi-condition tvFilters string onto a new line. It must be done like this:It won't work like thisPlacement of the comma after the newline is critical.

Halfnium,

I wrote a simple snippet that takes the current date but allows you to 'offset' days/months/years for this exact purpose. I will release it in the near future but let me know if you want it in advance.

I planned to do that myself once I got around to it, David, but I would gladly use your work instead.

Halfnium, know its been a while but finally released that snippet I mentioned above. Docs include code examples of how to use it with getResources to filter by date. Happy to assist if you have any questions.
