Hi

I have a latest news section that allows the user to specify a date that the news item should come off the system, I use removeDate to achieve this. Is there any way of displaying these records in an archive?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can still get these results by using the ignoreRemoveDate option in your getRecords function:

list($newsRecords,$newsMetaData)=getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'news',
'ignoreRemoveDate' => true,
));

This code will return ALL news records regardless of removeDate. If you want records created after a certain date, you'll have to add a "where" clause.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jason

To display only archived records (removedate is earlier than todays date) what should I specify in the where clause?

Thanks for your help.
