Views Ephemeral Field

Enables "New" or "Updated" content markers to be visible by anonymous users. This module extends the functionality of the existing "Node: Has new content" field in Views.

Features

Integrates directly with existing "Node: Has new content" field. Easily enable or disable the option via a checkbox on the "Node: Has new content" field configuration form.

About

Wanted a way of making new or updated content visible to anonymous users. Since an anonymous user has no identity, it is not possible to track whether an anonymous user has viewed certain content. Instead this module works on the basis that content should be marked for a specified period of time after the content has been created or updated. An anonymous user visiting the site within this period will see such markers. For logged in users, the "Node: has new content" field will continue to behave as normal (i.e. marking content until it has been viewed).

Installation

Simply enable the module under the views section of the modules admin page.

Use

Enable the checkbox "Make markers viewable to anonymous users" when setting up the "Node: Has new content" field in your view. In addition you must specify the duration of time for which content markers will persist after content has been created or updated.
