pat_css_timer

Hi Folks.

I’m currently working on this kind of plugin:

Don’t know how many time I’ll taking on. Cooking plugins is a bit hard, you know :))

if(@txpinterface == 'admin') {
	add_privs('pat_css_timer','1,2');
	register_tab('extensions', 'pat_css_timer', pat_css_timer_gTxt('pat_css_timer'));
	register_callback('pat_css_timer', 'pat_css_timer');
	register_callback('pat_css_timer_welcome', 'pat_css_timer');
}
function pat_css_timer_gTxt($what, $atts = array()) {
	$lang = array(
		'pat_css_timer' => 'CSS Schedule',
		'title' => 'Choose your CSS Files According to Planned Dates',
		'documentation' => 'Plugin Help',
		'planificator' => 'My Planner',
		'choose_your_default_css' => 'What is your "default" CSS file?',
		'css' => 'Select a CSS file to schedule',
		'startdate' => 'Starting Date',
		'enddate' => 'Ending Date',
		'add' => 'Are you planning another CSS file?',
);
return strtr($lang[$what], $atts);
}
function pat_css_timer() {
	global $step;
	require_privs('pat_css_timer');
	if($step == 'pat_css_timer_save') $step();
	else pat_css_timer_edit();
}
function pat_css_timer_edit($message='') {
	global $event, $step, $calendar;
	pagetop(pat_css_timer_gTxt('pat_css_timer'),$message);
	echo('
(...) and so on (...)

Cheers,

Re: pat_css_timer

Wouldn’t it be simpler if you turned that into a generic timer tag and let people use it in an if-construct in the templates?

Nice. I think that it would be better a timer that loads different CSS&graphics at different hours so to obtain a clear template for morning and a darker one for evening, for example… even if, maybe,, there would be a clear cache problem…

Nice idea, anyway.

My first idea is to use it for daily design (i.e. a marketing campaign) not hourly. For morming/night css you can make this kind of timer with some (little) PHP code.
