NEW Notification

When I post a sermon, I'd like for the most recent one have an image, or text that says "NEW!"

How can I accomplish this? This should be just a little bit of easy php, I think, but then again, I dont know php very well... :huh:

In the respective layout file (in the tmpl directory of the chosen view, usually default.php) you would add an if statement to check the 'sermon_date' against an own $variable.

The funny part starts with defining $variable. You would need to first transform the 'sermon_date' to an unix timestamp (strtotime($item->sermon_date) or so) then make your calculations and fill the $variable. Then compare this $variable against the timestamp of 'sermon_date'.

I'll be away for the next few days, maybe I can have a closer look later this week.

I think I will wait for you to have a better look first, that way I'm pretty sure it'll get done faster, and without me sitting on the computer for 3hrs trying to figure it out. :woohoo:

Assuming you want this for the sermons view:
Edit the file /components/com_sermonspeaker/views/sermons/tmpl/default.php
Before line 14 (?>) add this: Here we create the Unix timestamp for the date two weeks ago. We will later compare against this timestamp. Change the days to the needed values of course

Around line 57 starts the data tablerows. Assuming you want the "new" picture in front of the title, you would need to add the following code around line #67: Of course change the path to the picture to the file you use.
