Well, looks like we have to do it some other way then.

Thanks and appreciate!

I presume you know that setting the parameter to 0 means that you don't get !New at all, which for most of your users will be the same as having it appear only for 15 minutes :)

Otherwise you could set the parameters to 1 and intercept all additions to the site so that they are all held back and posted at exactly 23:45 server time. (Don't ask *me* how to write that lot of code!)

I'll confess I don't see much point in setting this to 15 mins. It annoys me that it's still visible after I've read the item but otherwise I find it useful to have at least some indication of what is new in the past few days.

Thanks Engelbert,

So there is no way to actually control the expiry, say I want it to expiry exactly 15min after it was first added?

No.

It's anyway (almost) always less than "a number of days" as the time expires at midnight (server time) no matter when the item was added.

Hi,

I know it is possible to use the command line to set New! tag expiry to less than the default 2 days, but the command line only allows you to set in "number of days", is there a way to set it to less than a day, like say 15min?

Thanks!
Garion
