Hi all,

On my review site I list entries by rating. This makes it difficult to spot which entries are new since the visitor’s last visit. I’d like to insert a “NEW!” badge beside the newest entry in the list (or, say, every entry made in the last week—I post two per week). The list is at http://www.lunchblock.ie/index.php/site/list/

I’ve tried searching the docs but I’m unsure how to go about this. The easiest way I can imagine would be something along the lines of

{if newest="true"}new-badge.png{/if}

or something like being able to compare the entry date with the current date, and if the difference is less than 1 week, show the badge.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Martin,

Two ways immediately spring to mind on this one, the It’s New plugin and the easier way of if you order your posts by date then you can always just use :

{if count == "1"}
Place image code here…
{/if}

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

Fantastic Mark, that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.

No problem at all. Glad that helped.

Best wishes,

Mark
