Hi all,

When I couldn’t find a plugin that does what I want today, I threw one together myself.  It’s called ‘Entry Age’ and, based on parameters passed to an EE tag pair, can display a configurable message warning to the reader that an entry is older than a certain age (measured in days, weeks, months or years).

I’m posting this here as it does exactly what I want but I’m not sure how to go about putting it forward for others to use or if anyone else would even be interested in it.

I’ve written a quick article about it on my site (http://digitalformula.net/articles/expressionengine-plugin-entry-age) - please feel free to check it out if you’d like to use it or check out http://digitalformula.net/articles/move-expressionengine-to-a-different-server if you want to see it in action.

Is there any way to get this to do the reverse?

Example, can I get it do return new if an entry is newer than 30 days old? It may be simple logic but I couldn’t get an if statement to work.

Sure, that’d be easy.  I haven’t tried it so can’t confirm if it’d work but it should just be a case of replacing the > sign with a < sign ... for example:

$this->return_data = ($entry_age < $max_age) ? $return_template : '';

I’ll try it later but let me know how you get on ...
