ras_if_expired (conditional, expiration, date)

szac · 2008-09-06 13:24:20

Hi, How can I can show the next future article after today (Posted asc)? It works if I limit the articles shown to the number of articles less then the future ones, but I just need to show the first future article after today or today’s article. Like this:

Article: 
<txp:article_custom sort="Posted asc" time="any" section="games" listform="myform" />

Form:
<txp:ras_if_dates_today>
    Today's Game:
    <txp:title />
<txp:else />
    <txp:ras_if_dates_after>
        Next Game:
        <txp:title />
    </txp:ras_if_dates_after>
</txp:ras_if_dates_today>

You could use ras_enable_articles for finer control but the conditionals themselves only look at the posting date and won’t see article count. Perhaps an arrangement with more than one article_custom tag or article tag, then you could use the limit attribute or the if_first_article tag to produce the result you are looking for.

The more recent versions of the plugin also include a “setdate” attribute to select a specific date. The most recent version is ras_if_dates_v4.0.5.1 and it works for version TXP 4.0.5 and above.

Hi
Im am using the folling code, but to no avail.
I am trying to show the word new and change the class (which changes the colour) if the article is older than 7 days (from current date)

<txp:ras_if_dates_today offset=“7”>
<div class=“innerdiv-new”>
<strong>NEW:</strong><txp:permlink><txp:adi_title offset=“4” append=”“ /></txp:permlink></div>
<txp:else />
<div class=“innerdiv”><txp:permlink><txp:adi_title offset=“4” append=”“ /></txp:permlink></div>
</div>
</txp:ras_if_dates_today>

Can you help

Try removing the second </div> in the else part.

Nope? dosn’t work

if_dates_today uses offset to move the date that it looks for up or down the time scale like a moving window, it will only operate for the seventh day then cease to operate, Try this:


<txp:ras_enable_articles days="7">
<div class=“innerdiv-new”>
<strong>NEW:</strong><txp:permlink><txp:adi_title offset=“4” append=”“ /></txp:permlink></div>
<txp:else />
<div class=“innerdiv”><txp:permlink><txp:adi_title offset=“4” append=”“ /></txp:permlink></div>
</div>
</txp:ras_enable_articles>

Hi, Do you actually have a full list of allof the different ways of using this plugin and what each one does?
It’s great plugin and your support is great but feel it would help with a more in-depth help file and more examples?

Oliver

rsilletti · 2008-11-26 16:32:18

The best examples I have are here: examples ,bear in mind that these are on a testing site, and that not everything on this site is current. Some outdated stuff is still linked to forum topics.

This plugin sounds like the solution to my problem: i wish to show events sorted by future_date under UPCOMING, then have these move to PAST evens automagically after the current_date

But 75% of the links in this thread seems to be dead or lead nowhere….

Where might i get the latest and greatest plugin that will accomplish what i wish.

PS if you look at the Fat Shrapnel Tour info on this page

You will see what i wish to take place… .the topmost listing under NEXT should only show the next earliest future dated concert, and the UPCOMING would show the tours in the farther future, in order. PAST events or tours would either disappear or would drop to a PAST listings.

I would have each tour date be a link to a permanent article with lots of more information and have them appear in order of dates.

pps It was easy for me to accomplish this on one of my EE sites, and I am hoping to this with TxP.

Hi,

You should smd_calendar http://stefdawson.com/sw/plugins/smd_calendar to achieve the the functionality that you’re describing.

Zanza · 2011-01-05 16:15:38

You shouldn’t need a plugin.

Next event:

<txp:article_custom section="events" form="list" time="future" sort="Posted asc" limit="1" />

Following events:

<txp:article_custom section="events" form="list" time="future" sort="Posted asc" limit="3" offset="1" />

Not tried, just inspired from a site of mine where I have to do something similar (and did! :)). So let me know if it works or if it give you any hint.

I was never able to get the time=“future” attribute to respect the post time. So as soon as the day of the event would come, the article would drop off. I would have to resort to a bunch of the conditions to get it to show as expected. Using smd_calendar, I’d just set the time of the post to after the event. The plugin does support article duration so you could add another condition for an event happening ‘right now’.

Here’s what I did for a future list of events at pack1631.org. The ‘form’ is just embedded right in the page template. Probably could be optimized further, but it has worked for me.

            <div id="events_block">
                <h2 class="content_headline">Upcoming Events</h2>
                   <ul id="events_list">
                    <txp:smd_article_event section="events" time="future" limit="100">
                        <txp:if_different>
                            <h3><txp:posted format="%B" /></h3>
                        </txp:if_different>  
                        <li>
                            <div class="event_list_title">                   
                                <div class="event_date"><txp:posted format="%d" /></div>
                                <div class="event_title"><txp:title /></div>

                                <div style="clear:left"></div>
                            </div>
                            <div class="event_desc"><txp:body /></div>
                        </li>
                    </txp:smd_article_event>
                    </ul><!--/events_list-->
            </div><!--/events_block-->

Zanza · 2011-01-05 16:36:38

time=“future” works for me, as long as you carefully choose the hour of the event. Past the hour (h and m), the event becomes past. I’m sure smd plugins works wonderfully, too: they always do! :) I think bici should try both methods and then pick what fits his needs.
