Can I identify a new product in a layout?

[Lance]

Hi,

Similar to my last post ( See http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=47537), I now want to put some special code in for new products.

e.g blockif a new product

add code

end blockif

I've tried looking through the variables available but there don't seem to be any to identify a product as a new product.

Not really straightforward, however the following works within a product layout:

<actinic:block php="true" >
    $thisProdRef = '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductReference" selectable="false" />';
<actinic:block type="NewProductsList" >
            if ('<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductReference" selectable="false" />' == $thisProdRef) {
                echo 'NEW PRODUCT HTML';
            }        
        
    </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

Thanks for your help. That worked fine.
