Using this code only the contents of the if:else is returned, even when the last_comment_date is greater than last_entry_date. Wonder if you could please try it your end please. Am I doing something wrong?

{exp:stats}
  {if last_comment_date > last_entry_date}
    {!-- Comment is more recent --}
    Comment 
  {if:else}
    {!-- Entry is more recent --}
    Entry 
  {/if}
{/exp:stats}

More confusing is that this code outputs nothing at all.

{exp:stats}
  {if last_comment_date > last_entry_date}
    {!-- Comment is more recent --}
    Comment
  {/if}
  {if last_entry_date > last_comment_date}
    {!-- Entry is more recent --}
    Entry
  {/if}
{/exp:stats}

My test templates had each of these examples on and no other code whatsoever.

Hi Lee,

After digging through the code of the Statistics modules, I see that the date variables for this module (last_entry_date, last_forum_post_date, last_comment_date, last_visitor_date, and most_visitor_date) aren’t available as conditional variables. That would explain why it’s not behaving as you’d expect here. Certainly a good feature request though. Would you like me to move this thread over to Feature Requests so that our devs can see if when they’re combing through that forum?

Thanks Kevin. I’ve added a FR.

Glad to hear that, Lee. Have a good one!
