    Testing if created date of a node is within a certain range

    I want to test to see if a node was created within 2 weeks (14 days) of the current date. Is there any way to test if created dates are within a specific range?

    Hi Eric - welcome to the forum!

    Yes - there are a couple of useful extensions for this, e.g.: DateGreaterThanOrEqual() in the standard extension library for Umbraco.

    Only tricky bit is doing the DateDiff duration... I'll see if I can cook up an example for you - but have look at the above first.

    Hi again,

    You should be able to test that with the following:

    <xsl:variable name="secondsInADay" select="60 * 60 * 24" />

<!-- Grab the year, month and date for today -->
<xsl:variable name="today" select="substring-before(umbraco.library:CurrentDate(), 'T')" />

<!-- Do the date/math stuff -->
<xsl:variable name="daysSinceCreated" select="umbraco.library:DateDiff($today, substring-before($currentPage/@createDate, 'T'), 's') div $secondsInADay" />

<xsl:if test="$daysSinceCreated &lt;= 14">
    <p>New content this is</p>
</xsl:if>
