CMS Made Simple Forums

In forge I add a patch for display new (upcoming) or old (archive  ) news only.
I add a new parameter displayonly [=new/old] (warn in this release: relative of post date): Alby

and is the "old" displaying expired news?

Yes, there is a update patch that correct a bug ( ) and add a new parameter archiveperiod
Set additional period in days for visualization in archive view. Useful with displayonly=old only

Look this below, I hope of being simple.

Legend:
PDT: Post Date Time
SNT: Start News Time (if set Expiration Date)
ENT: End News Time (if set Expiration Date)

NOW: TIME (istant of user view)
APT: Archive Period Time from NOW (in days)


Two example:
1. Post without expiration date (Post date only)
2. Post with expiration date (start-end visualization)



Case UPCOMING: {... displayonly="new" ...}
1. Post Date must be in future and it will be visualized until its exceeding

2. It will be visualized between Start and End Time of expiration




Case ARCHIVE: {... displayonly="old" archiveperiod=5 ...}
1. It will be visualized if Post Date is lesser than APT (APT NOW)
2. It will be visualized if SNT is lesser than APT and End Time is lesser than NOW
