Hi Shawn

Basically what you'd need to get started with this is a cron job plugin to change the labels after 30 days, and then a few getRecords functions to get the right listings in each area.

It's not complicated if you've got a sound knowledge of PHP. What's your level of technical expertise?

Hi Claire, 

Sadly my php knowledge is non existent. I'm more on the design and front end side. So any help doing something would be great.

Kind regards

Shawn

Ok, so I've basically setup a checkbox with the fieldname "new" - checked by default. This makes my label show correctly. If I uncheck it now, it disappears which is correct.

So what I need to do now, is somehow use the "createdDate" field name and after a certain time automatically set the checkbox to unchecked. Any help?

This is custom functionality - I'm really not sure I can help unless you have at least a basic knowledge of PHP. You can use the cron-example plugin as a base or adapt another similar plugin, or you can add a check at the start of the page where you're listing these records to add the New tag, for example, but this all requires some familiarity with PHP to implement properly.

The best thing I can do is refer you to consulting@interactivetools.com for a quote to get it done. It's a quick job for an experienced programmer at least.
