You can try adding it to your app_model:
config/core.php:
Configure::write('BRAND_NEW', '-24 hours');
Configure::write('NEW', '-48 hours');
Configure::write('RECENTLY_NEW', '-96 hours');
app_model.php:
function rowNewness($data = null) {
if (!$data) {
$data = $this->data;
}
foreach ( array( 'BRAND_NEW', 'NEW', 'RECENTLY_NEW' ) as
$newness ) {
if ( $data[$model->alias]['created'] < date('Y-m-d H:i:s',
strtotime(Configure::read($newness))) ( {
return $newness;
}
}
return 'NOT_NEW';
}
somethings_controller.php:
...
switch ( $this->Something->rowNewness() ) {
case 'BRAND_NEW':
// fun stuff for brand new records
break;
case 'NEW':
// other fun stuff for new records
break;
case 'RECENTLY_NEW':
// still other fun stuff for recently new records
}
This should work if you are only testing the newness of records at the
Model and Controller level, but not at the View level. If you want to
be able to test at the View level as well, you can try creating a
global function in config/bootstrap.php (see:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/954/Bootstrapping-CakePHP for additional
details and configurations).
