To add discount to the product which is 15 days old from created date

Question

I want to add discount to the product when that product exceeds more than 15 days from created date.

Generally i know how to add discount to the product, but i felt this is difficult to set the discount with that condition. It make me as so confused. I have found where to add that attribute in combo box.

\app\code\core\Mage\SalesRule\Model\Rule\Condition\address.php

I got created date of product by $product->getCreatedAt()

But i totally confused "how to do that action?". If anybody know, Please help me guys!

Answer 1

I have simply used shopping cart price rules by the following way.

first i had created product attribute named as days. Then I have set the value to that days textbox as programmatically as follows

require_once("app/Mage.php");

Mage::app(); 

$productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();

$date2=Date("Y-m-d");
foreach($productCollection as $_product) 
{
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getEntityId());

$date1=$product->getCreatedAt();

$diff = abs(strtotime($date2) - strtotime($date1));

 $years = floor($diff / (365*60*60*24));
 $months = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24) / (30*60*60*24));
 $days = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24)/ (60*60*24));

 $product->setDays($days);

$product->save();
}

After that i have added that product attribute promo rules. Then i set the condition as if differerence between dates which are from product creation date to now is more than 15 days, to add discount to that particular product.
