Views block for content that is older than current node created date How should I go about creating a view that only shows content that is older than the current node's creation date? I've created the argument using 'Content: created date' but I struggle to pass this over to the filter criteria.

To be honest, I'm not even sure this is the correct way to do it.
You'll need to create a block which accepts the node created date as an argument. Then you'll need to set the condition to only show nodes which have a created date &lt; the argument value.

To pass on the node's created date as an argument, I think it's easiest just to embed the View block into the node's template using a PHP snippet. So you'll be looking at something along the lines of:

&lt;?php print views_embed_view('my_view','my_block_machine_name', $node-&gt;created); ?&gt;


You might have to check for the correct variable name for the created date of the node, but I think "created" is correct.

hope this helps!
