How to test if article is new or modified within last 30 days?

I thought csb_if_newer_than was what I needed for this but it only tests for the original posted date, not the modified date. I’d like to add a class to article titles that are either new or have been modified within the last 30 days.

A small warning: $thisarticle[‘modified’] does not contain the unix timestamp in 4.0.6 as it should (will be fixed in TXP 4.0.7), so refrain from using that to solve this when using TXP 4.0.6/

nemozob, have you considered to use the “Set timestamp to now” checkbox when saving a modified article?

yes, checking “Set timestamp to now” does allow me to do what I wanted. Although I would like this to be automated, I supposed I could modify the link to always be checked.

Thanks.

Download, install and activate rss_admin_show_adv_opts.
Then edit the plugin:
Find

toggleDisplay('advanced');

and replace by

toggleDisplay('more');
document.article.publish_now.checked = true;

Thanks. The DOM path above wasn’t quite correct. It should be:

document.article.reset_time.checked = true;

But yes, this works. I was planning to use a javascript fix for this, now I know how to do this in the future.
