When in archive, variable or token for passed date #28

Hi all, We use News Articles for many things, also for a calender where it is important to show the future events (I use filter setting Show Pending for this). But when these dates (I set startdate and enddate) are passed I do not want the events to be visible anymore. This is standard for the normal listing but when I call a category listing I still see the events. Is there something I can do to prevent this? I was thinking about a new token... something like [ISPAST] or something. Or maybe there's a smart little workaround for this?

Hi, Came up with a workaround. I added an attribute to the surrounding div in Listing.Item.html:

data-date="[PUBLISHSTARTDATE:yyyy-MM-dd]"

I added a jQuery script in Listing.Footer.html:

<script> $(document).ready(function(e) { $('div.media').each(function(index, element) { event_day = $(this).attr('data-date'); event_day = new Date(event_day); today = new Date(); if(event_day.getTime() < today.getTime()) { $(this).css('display','none'); } console.log($(this).attr('data-date')); }); }); </script>

Now I can call a category with filter setting 'Show pending' selected and have articles in the past hidden.
