Display information for a specified date range

Use a cfif statement and a couple of functions so you can have information appear/disappear based on the date:

Functions used:

• now()
  the date and time right now.
• createdate ( year, month, day )
  The date with the supplied year, month and day.
• createDateTime (year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
  get specific with the date and time.

Example: show information as long as the current date is before June 1^st 2008. (until 11:59pm 5/31/2008).
There’s a deadline for the published information.

<cfif now() LT createdate(2008,6,1)>
Show this information
</cfif>

Example: show information only during the first seven days of June 2008
The information isn’t valid until a future date, and there’s a time limit on the information.

<cfif now() GT createdate(2008,5,31) AND now() LT createdate(2008,6,8)>
Show this information
</cfif>
