Show code depending on what time it is
Is there a textpattern tag that would allow me to show html code between certain hours?
i.e I want a button on my site to say “open” between the hours of 6.30am and 12 midnight and “closed” at any other time.

Re: Show code depending on what time it is
Do you want access to the entire site restricted, certain areas, or just display changes?

Re: Show code depending on what time it is
Hi rsilletti,
Basically I have a booking system that I only want to be available from 6.30am to 12 midnight so only want to display a link to it on the site at these times. All other times I want the link to be hidden.
I suspect that this would be best as a piece of raw php code.

Yes, I think that would take a plugin built specifically to do that, anything that I know or have written work as offsets from present or a preset time.
