Adding A Recently Posted Thread Class

[Harrie]

Hey all - we're planning to transfer our board over to Xenforo in the next 6 months or so, and I'm working on creating a theme for us in advance of our move.

One thing we would like to do is highlight threads which have been posted within the last x days - ours is a creator focused board, so we'd like to make it easier for new content creators to get seen.

I'm primarily familiar with CSS so the template syntax is a little hard for me to use - but I've added a marker for hot threads easily enough with

<div class="structItem structItem--thread {{ $thread.reply_count >= '50' ? 'hot' : '' }} [...]

Is there something similar I could do to check for days since first posted?

Figured it out!

If anybody would like to do the same thing, the variables you need are $xf.time and $thread.post_date.

They render time in seconds since 1/1/1970, so

{{ $xf.time - $thread.post_date <= '2592000' ? 'new' : '' }}

Will give you how long in seconds since the thread was posted, and then you can set 2592000 to however many days in seconds you want (thats 30).
