if day of the week =

I’m in the midst of a restaurant site.

I want to display content based on the day of the week. Not date – day.

Example:

If Tuesday:
Tuesday menu

If Wednesday:
Wednesday menu

etc.

If there is a built in obvious way to do this, I’ve missed it. A <txp:if_day /> tag doesn’t seem to exist. I haven’t found a plugin thus far.

Ideas?

	Tuesday menu
</txp:etc_if_date>

Edit: changed format, sorry.

Re: if day of the week =

Here is an untested solution without a plugin

<txp:variable name="weekday" value='<txp:php>echo date('D');</txp:php>' />
<txp:if_variable name="weekday" value="Mon">
Monday menu
</txp:if_variable>
<txp:if_variable name="weekday" value="Tue">
Tuesday menu
</txp:if_variable>

... etc
