If you're on edge, you might also consider the PageParts extension. It
can be used to add a dedicated datetime field to a page (instead of
storing dates as text, or repurposing published_at.) It also provides
some new tags like if_earlier/if_later for working with datetime fields.

Thanks Jim.
I realise that it's a unusual usage as News items are normally either
current or past but the thinking was they'd post a News item as at
"today" referring to an upcoming event. Perhaps we'll have to rethink
this..

Hi all
I have a News page of archive page type. Users can tag the pages
into
"news", "events", "offers" etc.
I'd like to be able to show upcoming events in a sidebar.
I can search for all items tagged with "events" and display them,
but
how do I show only events where <r: date> >= TODAY ?
I didn't really want to go down the route of using a dedicated
calendar extension [1] as it's overkill for the requirements. I
can't
see to be able to do any kind of conditional fiter on the date?
Your thoughts appreciated.

There's no notion of "upcoming" with the archive pages.
To do this, you'll need to create an new tag (in a custom extension).
Here's some quick code that should get you along:
tag 'upcoming' do |tag|
tag.locals.upcoming = Page.all(:conditions => ['whatever_date
> ?',Time.now]
tag.expand
end
tag 'upcoming:each' do |tag|
result = []
tag.locals.upcoming.each do |page|
tag.locals.page = page
result << tag.expand
end
result
end
