I’d do the date comparison on the MySQL server, and return it as a field. So – you probably want to amend the SQL in shop_browse_queries.php, to get a single field containing the age of the product, and then just check that in PHP.

I can’t help much beyond that really as I don’t have the time to set up foreign language installs etc. but that should point you in the right direction.

To achieve the different styling for products that are added in last 2 weeks i put the following code:

<?php if ((time() – strtotime($cdate))

But it only works correctly if the site language is in English, in Portuguese it doesn´t work.

I think that may be something related to strtotime.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

The product creation date is already pulled back by the exi disting queries, so to flag “new” products, all you’d have to do would be to check the cdate in your browse page template, and add CSS/HTML as required.

I don’t think the existing queries pull back whether the product is discounted (product_discount_id > 0 if the product is discounted), but you could follow the same approach from this article to add the field, pass it through, and check for it in the browse page certainly.

i want to have different styling for products that are added in last 2 weeks, also if price is discounted and the one you did – featured

This implements all of the above, plus some small changes to the standard browse page templates. You’ll have to tweak your own Virtuemart templates to get the look you want obviously!
