How to achieve an <txp:if_future>?
If an article’s Posted date is in the future, I’d like Textpattern to display only the excerpt where it normally displays the body. Basically, I need a future equivalent to <txp:if_expired>. I think I could accomplish it with smd_if but that seems like overkill. <txp:variable /> also seems useful, but I’m not sure how to make greater than/less than comparisons with it.
Any ideas welcome!

Okay, here’s what I came up with:
<txp:variable name="in_future" value='<txp:php>if($thisarticle["posted"] > time()) echo "true";</txp:php>' />
<txp:if_variable name="in_future" value="true">
<h2><txp:title /></h2>
<txp:excerpt />
<txp:else />
--all my normal article formatting--
</txp:if_variable>Seems to work!

I have made this snippet into the simplest plugin ever! I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to finally learn a little bit about how plugins work and how to write one, so here is nab_if_future.
