    Using Date Add for publication "retirement."

    I'm working on a small script to "retire" featured articles after a particular date. I found "DateAdd" which seems like a great way to accomplish what I'm wanting to do. However, I cannot seem to get it to work the way I thought I could.

    Here's the code, inside of a foreach loop:

    var image = "";
var createdDate = item.CreateDate;
var endDate = umbraco.library.DateAdd(@createdDate,"d",30);
if ( umbraco.library.CurrentDate() > endDate ){
    STORY CODE HERE
}

    The code saves, but it fails when visiting the page. The usual "Error loading MacroEngine script."

    Ideally, I would like a drop down parameter for the integer input (all days) 7 - 14 - 30 - 60 - 90, but I would like to get it to work with the "CreateDate" first.

    I have also tried using item.CreateDate inside of the DateAdd().

    Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks,

    Greg

    Normally you should be fine with the DateTime standards.

    var endDate = createdDate.AddDays(30).

    Or has the CreateTime another type?

    Thanks Andreas, that seems to work. Now I'm having other issues (ordering, not pulling all the articles) but at least this portion works! 

    Thanks!
